Dr. King commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy into her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical skills to live in ways that matter most, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured strategies to address depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships, supporting work on intimacy, relationship struggles, and attachment-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. King works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions by drawing on evidence-based techniques while honoring each person’s history, strengths, and cultural context.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversations similar to in-person visits, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative ways to check in, process events, and practice skills between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
