About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her practice addresses relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar conditions.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods and more structured approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on naming emotion, noticing patterns, and practicing new ways of responding. The work can include communication skills, managing strong emotions, and building steadier day-to-day routines.
Dr. Everett has experience with adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and common medical and end-of-life concerns such as fertility or hospice-related issues. She also helps people dealing with codependency, infidelity, and the fallout from domestic violence or disasters. First responder issues and compassion fatigue are listed among her additional focus areas.
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens for what matters most and then pairs that with practical exercises and discussion. Over multiple sessions she helps people test new responses and adjust strategies so coping feels more manageable.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Pennsylvania. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. It can help when relationship patterns or attachment needs are central concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, letting the person lead the topics while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms such as anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dr. Everett will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and the balance between talking, learning skills, and practicing new ways of responding.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow for audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or a brief call is preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt EFT, client-centered listening, and CBT exercises to remote sessions so the core work continues even when meeting at a distance.
