Evidence-based tools, supported through online therapy

Kimatha Spratling, LMSW, draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and shifting them toward more balanced perspectives, while also building day-to-day coping strategies. It is often used for concerns like stress, anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationship effectiveness. It can be especially helpful when feelings become intense or hard to manage, or when communication and boundaries feel difficult. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers a structured way to understand how past experiences may still be affecting the present, supporting clients in creating steadier ways to cope and respond.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimatha collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy adds flexibility and access, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and stay connected between sessions in a way that works for each client.
