Kim Selbert

Kim Selbert is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who focuses on grief, women's issues, and life transitions. She has ten years of counseling experience and helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, and changes tied to health or aging. Kim emphasizes a warm, respectful approach and brings personal experience with some issues into sessions.

She uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and goals. Conversations are practical and paced to the client's needs. Kim also draws on her background in occupational therapy and counseling psychology to offer hands-on problem solving and life skills work.

Kim trained at Lindenwood University for her master’s in counseling psychology and holds a second master’s in occupational therapy from the University of Southern California. She is also the author of Childbirth Choices in Mothers' Words, published in 1990, and incorporates humor and real-life perspective when helpful.

In-session, Kim mixes listening, education, and skills practice to help people manage sleep problems, parenting stress, workplace strain, anger, intimacy concerns, and the impact of serious illness. She aims to build tools clients can use after therapy ends.

Her style is supportive and straightforward. Clients looking for help with grief, life purpose, isolation, or issues around pregnancy and childbirth may find her approach especially relevant. Please confirm current session options before booking.

Client-centered care for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients define goals. This approach can be helpful for issues like grief, anxiety, life changes, and relationship concerns because it starts with what matters most to the person.

Kim also brings occupational therapy-informed thinking to sessions. That perspective pays attention to daily routines, practical problem solving, and rebuilding activities that support well-being. It can be useful when sleep, parenting, work, or health issues make everyday life harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. Clients help shape what therapy focuses on and how progress is measured.

Please confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to work around work or caregiving responsibilities.
