About Kia
Kia Hebb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem struggles, and issues related to sexual and gender identity. Kia describes herself as a member of the LGBTQIA community and includes gender identity and sexuality among the topics she addresses.
She begins new work with a get-to-know-you session that covers background, education, and the reasons a person has come to therapy. Sessions run about 45 minutes. After intake, Kia often uses a structured goals sheet that looks at nine life areas - relationships, work, health, finances, emotions, and more - to shape what to address in therapy.
Kia uses a mix of approaches, including client-centered and cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She frames clients as the experts on their lives and works collaboratively rather than directing choices. Between-session work may be suggested so people can practice skills outside sessions.
Her practice notes attention to relationship patterns like attachment and codependency, communication problems, and issues that intersect with kink and alternative sexual culture. She also lists family of origin concerns, body image, eating issues, and impulses and mood concerns among areas she addresses.
Sessions include discussion of goals early and periodic review about every six months. Kia explains what she brings to therapy and invites questions in that first meeting so people can decide whether the fit feels right before moving forward.
How sessions work
How Kia Uses Practical Approaches Online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape how people connect and set boundaries. This approach can help with patterns like people-pleasing, trouble saying no, and recurring relationship pain by focusing on how you relate to others and yourself.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems down into manageable steps and gives concrete skills for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behaviors. Mindfulness techniques add short practices to increase awareness of reactions and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kia collaborates with clients to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be useful when a quick conversation is the goal. Ask about the current options when arranging your first appointment to pick what will fit your routine.
