Kim Riddle, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self esteem. She approaches therapy with warmth and patience, and she meets clients where they are without judgment. Kim emphasizes connection and the courage it takes to ask for help. Her aim is to help clients feel seen and understood as they work toward clearer goals.
Kim has 21 years of experience, much of it in community mental health. She focuses on uncovering what gets in the way of daily functioning and building on strengths people already have. Sessions often involve practical steps to manage mood, anxiety, and reactions tied to past trauma. She also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, anger, bipolar mood issues, and social anxiety.
Her approach blends several methods to fit the person in front of her. Client-centered work means listening closely and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and finds small changes that can make daily life easier.
Kim also uses trauma-focused methods and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of addressing past traumatic events when appropriate. She explains options and moves at a pace that feels right for each person. The goal is clearer thinking, stronger coping, and more confidence.
Kim practices in Colorado and conducts sessions in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How Kim’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's priorities. Online sessions using this approach start with the client's goals and shape each meeting around what matters most. This helps people address self esteem, relationship concerns, and everyday stressors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions CBT often includes practical exercises and small homework tasks to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach is commonly used for depression, social anxiety, and coping with life changes.
If past trauma is a concern, trauma-focused therapy and EMDR are options she may discuss. Trauma-focused methods address patterns tied to traumatic events, while EMDR uses bilateral stimulation as part of processing painful memories when appropriate. The therapist explains these choices and tailors them to each person.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a client's needs, goals, and preferences, and can adjust strategies as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals aim to make therapy practical and flexible so it can be part of everyday life.
