About Kia

Dr. Kia Everett is a Licensed Professional Counselor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a core approach. She brings 30 years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem struggles.

Her manner is warm and practical, and she aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She focuses on real-life problems that can feel overwhelming. Those include stress, anger, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, and major life changes.

Background and approach

She also addresses work-related strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption, foster care, and blended family situations. Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy to honor each person’s perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform skills training for managing emotions and behavior.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports deeper work around attachment and close relationships. Dr. Everett pays attention to family patterns, communication problems, codependency, and control issues that keep people stuck.

She also helps with caregiver stress, first responder issues, fertility and hospice concerns, and recovery after domestic violence or natural disasters. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Pennsylvania. The focus is on practical steps, clearer understanding, and building tools clients can use between sessions.

The style is collaborative: she listens first, then helps people try new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support

Emotion-Focused and Skills-Based Care Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotions and how they shape important relationships. In practice this means identifying core emotional needs and patterns, and working to change unhelpful interaction cycles that cause pain or distance.

Client-Centered Therapy starts from the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own direction and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, practical exercises and skill-building for mood and anxiety challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Everett treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients decide which combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning guides what happens in sessions and how progress is measured.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when writing helps organize thoughts. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue between-session work with guidance from a licensed professional.
