About Kia

Dr. Kia Everett centers her practice on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

With 30 years as a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania, she blends practical skills training with a client-centered, compassionate stance to support people coping with depression, self-esteem struggles, anger, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also extends to complex life transitions and specialized topics such as bipolar management, ADHD, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.

Dr. Everett draws on dialectical and emotionally focused approaches when addressing relationship and family dynamics, infidelity, blended family challenges, and communication problems, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals and values.

Known for a collaborative, strength-based style, she helps individuals develop resilience and clearer decision-making through coaching elements and existential reflection when appropriate. Dr.

Everett maintains professional licensure in Pennsylvania and brings decades of experience to a practice that emphasizes practical strategies, empathic listening, and personalized care.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and supporting each person’s own strengths and values to foster self-understanding and empowerment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing strong emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques over time so the work reflects personal preferences and outcomes rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access consistent support, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic tools adapted for remote delivery.
