About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 30 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and self-esteem struggles, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.
Her work centers on clear, practical conversation. She listens to what is happening now and helps people name patterns that cause pain. Sessions often include looking at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going, and practicing new ways to respond in real situations.
Over three decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care questions, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, infertility and effects of domestic violence.
Dr. Everett uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and existential reflection. That mix is used to help people manage emotions, improve communication, and set clearer boundaries when others take priority.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set small, doable goals and practices between sessions. She encourages learning skills that fit into daily life and that can reduce the pressure of always putting others first.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on understanding each person's point of view. The therapist listens closely and builds sessions around the concerns the person brings. This style helps when people need clearer boundaries, better communication, or support managing relationship pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and repetitive people-pleasing responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving how people relate to others. Skills include distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when patterns of over-responsibility or reactivity are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
The biography does not list specific online formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know what to expect. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow brief phone check-ins when a longer visit is difficult. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to daily life so skills can be practiced between meetings.
