About Kim
Kim Riddle is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Colorado with 21 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem problems, mood disorders, and social anxiety and phobia. Kim also focuses on guilt and shame, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.
Kim keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what causes distress. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. Cognitive behavioral ideas and client-centered conversation are common parts of her work.
When trauma is a factor, Kim may use trauma-focused methods and EMDR approaches to address memories and strong reactions. She explains what each step involves and checks that clients feel ready before moving forward. Progress is paced to the client rather than rushed.
People who come to Kim can expect clear explanations of therapy methods and simple homework when it helps. She uses clinical skills developed over two decades in community mental health settings. Kim aims to help people build coping skills, reduce avoidance, and handle social situations with more confidence.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in Colorado. International clients are not accepted, and practical details like cost follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step is used to set the first appointment.
How Kim’s approaches work in online sessions
Kim uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in ways that translate well to remote sessions. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and reflects what she hears to help clarify feelings and goals. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can be practiced between appointments and reviewed online.Kim also uses EMDR when trauma memories are central. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories with guided attention and step-by-step preparation; she explains each phase and proceeds at a pace the client finds manageable. These approaches are used to address anxiety, social fears, trauma reactions, and mood concerns in practical terms.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kim will discuss options, explain what to expect, and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and comfort. Clients decide together which techniques to try and when to change direction.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling and fitting appointments into a busy week. Some people find video sessions let them practice social skills without traveling, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins that need less bandwidth.
