About Kia
Kia Hebb is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with seven years of clinical experience. She draws on a blend of cognitive behavioral and humanistic-informed practices to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem.
Background and approach
Kia emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and practical between-session work to support skills practice and lasting change. Clients can expect an initial intake that focuses on getting to know their background, current concerns, and priorities.
Kia uses a goals sheet with nine life domains - from relationships and emotional health to career and physical goals - to shape therapy and revisit progress about every six months. Her sessions are structured to balance exploration with concrete tools, and she adapts methods when other approaches may better serve a client’s needs.
Sessions last approximately 45 minutes and begin with an opportunity to learn about Kia’s training and orientation while sharing what brought the client to therapy. She aims to walk alongside clients rather than prescribe solutions, guiding them to discover strategies that fit their lives and values.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Many of Kia’s core methods adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or problematic coping patterns; it often pairs well with practical exercises that clients can try between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape present-day reactions and can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and communication difficulties by exploring relational needs and building new interaction skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and validating the client’s perspective so that the person feels heard while they work through identity, self-esteem, or relationship questions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kia works with each client to match methods to their goals, preferences, and everyday life, adjusting strategies as progress is made and new priorities emerge. The therapist treats the client as the expert of their experience and seeks to co-create a plan that feels workable and meaningful.
Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling and for choosing how to engage in therapy. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, caregiving, or travel constraints and allow clients to practice skills in the environments where they live and relate.
