Dr. Kia Everett, LPC

Dr. Kia Everett is a licensed professional counselor with thirty years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Her work often addresses relationship and family concerns as part of broader life challenges.

She creates a calm, culturally aware space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clear communication, practical coping skills, and building everyday routines that feel manageable. Her style is collaborative and strengths-based, so clients help shape the goals and pace of therapy.

Over her career she has worked with a range of life situations, including workplace stress, caregiving strain, first responder issues, and complicated grief. She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the effects of trauma and abuse. These areas often overlap, and she pays attention to how problems in one part of life affect others.

Dr. Everett blends several therapeutic approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses talk-based, skills-focused, and emotion-centered methods to help clients make concrete changes. The emphasis is on small, practical steps clients can use between sessions.

Her practice is informed by long experience and a focus on respectful, person-centered care. People who value steady guidance and clear tools for coping often find this approach helpful when they are navigating difficult transitions or long-standing struggles.

Online approaches that match your situation

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. It helps people feel heard and build on their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is more structured and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and may adjust the plan as work unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy lives - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-in sessions when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can be arranged to match your daily routine and responsibilities.
