Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Kianni offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences. She adapts her methods to fit the needs brought into each session, working collaboratively to select techniques that match a person’s goals.
She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and adjust thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to stress and mood concerns, explaining concepts and practice tasks in everyday language. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness in practical, step-by-step ways. Emotionally focused therapy is used when relationship patterns and attachment themes are central, creating space to explore emotions and relationship responses.
Throughout remote work, Kianni emphasizes collaboration: she and the person set priorities together, try concrete strategies, and reflect on what is helpful. Video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging are available options to support an ongoing therapeutic process.
