About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 30 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Her style is warm and collaborative, aiming to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Dr. Everett uses several approaches to suit different needs.
She applies the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are central concerns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's goals and lived experience.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Her work covers a wide range of everyday and complex issues.
These include grief, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, blended family stress, caregiver strain, and fertility issues.
Dr. Everett brings additional experience with situations such as first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, domestic violence, and recovery after natural or human-caused disasters.
She tends to emphasize clear communication skills, coping tools, and steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Dr. Everett practices in Pennsylvania as a PA LPC and DE LPC and works with each person to set achievable goals and practical next steps.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Everett often blends the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to notice communication patterns and practice new interaction skills, which can be useful when people want better everyday conversations. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's goals so the work is shaped around what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical alternatives.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she suggests techniques and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on progress and comfort level.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and role-play communication skills. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Text and live chat are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life and try tools between meetings.
