About Kim
Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She has ten years of counseling experience helping people cope with grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes.
Background and approach
Her work also covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, and career questions. Kim uses a Client-Centered approach.
She focuses on listening, offering support, and helping people name what matters most to them. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with room for humor when it helps people feel lighter.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. She also authored Childbirth Choices in Mothers' Words, published in 1990.
In sessions Kim helps people sort through choices, regain calm, and build simple skills they can use day to day. She prioritizes empathy and clear information so clients can make decisions that fit their lives.
People working with aging concerns, cancer-related issues, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose and women's issues will find relevant experience in her practice. Kim aims to help each person leave sessions with practical steps they can try between meetings.
Client-centered care delivered online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding what matters most to each person. The therapist listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people make decisions that fit their values and goals. This approach is helpful for grief, life transitions, anxiety, and finding clearer direction.Kim also brings practical problem-solving and a sense of humor to sessions when appropriate. She uses straightforward conversation to help people identify small steps that reduce stress and improve daily routines. Together the client and therapist decide which methods suit the person's situation and goals, and they adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on practical progress.
