Online care and therapeutic approach
Kira integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and low mood and to develop practical strategies for change. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are exploring ambivalence about change, including issues related to addiction or lifestyle shifts. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the processing of distressing events and coping strategies for trauma-related responses.
These approaches are presented in a collaborative way, with Kira tailoring the pace and focus to match each person’s readiness and goals. The work typically involves setting clear priorities together, trying specific skills between sessions, and adjusting the plan based on what is most useful.
Remote sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that best fits their communication preferences and daily routine.What is Kira's clinical experience?
