About Kiana
Her practice is attuned to the needs of LGBTQ+ people, women, and people of color. She supports exploration of sexuality, questions about career and purpose, and issues around self-love and body image. Communication problems, feelings of loneliness, and struggles with control or abandonment also appear often in her work.
Kiana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build skills and awareness. She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. The process emphasizes collaboration and small, measurable changes that fit into everyday life.
With six years of experience, she brings steady guidance without jargon. Kiana encourages clients to name goals early so sessions can stay focused and useful. She also recognizes that progress can look different for each person.
Clients who prefer a therapist who listens closely and offers straightforward tools may find her approach helpful. If you want help untangling relationship patterns, improving communication, or finding direction in work and life, she will work with you to set clear, realistic steps.
How her evidence-based approaches work online
Many evidence-based techniques focus on practical change and clearer thinking. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new perspectives; this can reduce anxiety and depressive thinking by replacing assumptions with observable evidence. Another approach emphasizes skills for regulating emotions and improving daily routines, which helps when stress or mood swings interfere with work and relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs and goals. Over the first few sessions she will check what feels helpful and adjust the plan to fit a client's preferences and life demands.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain momentum between appointments.

Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt interventions to an online setting so clients keep making steady progress.
