About Kim
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with ten years of practice, Kim Selbert helps people facing grief, cancer-related concerns, womens issues, and questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger, career shifts, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English.
Kim primarily uses a Client-Centered Therapy approach. She draws on direct personal experience with many of the concerns she treats and sometimes uses laughter as a therapeutic tool. Her work aims to provide practical support, clear information, and room to talk through difficult feelings.
Kim has a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from Lindenwood University and a Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California. She is also a published author of Childbirth Choices in Mothers' Words (Mills & Sanderson, 1990).
In sessions she focuses on building a collaborative relationship. Conversations often include education about coping strategies and developing skills that can be used outside of therapy. The emphasis is on helping people recognize options and practice new ways of managing everyday problems.
People often come for help after a major life change or a loss, or when chronic stress and anxiety interfere with daily routines. Kim works to keep sessions straightforward and practical, aiming to leave people with tools they can continue to use after therapy ends.

How Client-Centered work translates to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each persons concerns without imposing a fixed agenda. In practice this means the therapist follows the clients lead, reflects feelings and priorities, and offers practical education and coping ideas. This approach can help with grief, anxiety, relationship concerns, and womens health issues by giving people space to name what matters and try different ways of coping.Kim combines Client-Centered work with straightforward skills and information when useful. She collaborates with each person to decide what to try next and adjusts methods based on the persons goals and preferences. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early sessions rather than a one-time decision.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that video or phone options help them maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family, and medical appointments.
