About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett is an LPC with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Her work often includes support for stress, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes.
She aims for a warm, collaborative approach that centers the person in front of her. Sessions emphasize listening, clear goals, and practical steps people can use between meetings. Dr. Everett uses compassionate, strengths-based methods to help people build resilience and clearer communication patterns.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with diverse communities, including veterans, first responders, and people from multicultural backgrounds. That experience shapes how she thinks about stress, workplace struggles, and family dynamics. It also informs her interest in concerns such as codependency, caregiver strain, and blended family issues.
Dr. Everett integrates several therapeutic styles to meet each person’s needs. She blends client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, and skills-based strategies when emotion regulation is needed. The goal is useful, real-world change rather than jargon or layers of theory.
People who start therapy with her typically work toward clearer communication, better coping strategies, and steps to reduce overwhelm. She encourages collaborative planning so goals feel realistic and fit into everyday life.

How key approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. It helps people feel understood and builds a safe space to clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and gives concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out which methods match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change as work progresses, and sessions are adjusted to stay practical and goal-focused.

They can also support shorter focused meetings for skill practice or longer sessions for in-depth work depending on what the therapist offers. Licensed professionals tailor the plan so therapy fits everyday demands while pursuing the client’s goals.
