About Kia
Dr. Kia Everett is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She practices in Pennsylvania and aims to create a compassionate, culturally attentive space where people can talk through their concerns and build coping skills.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and try tools that fit their life. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing strong emotions, and building routines that reduce daily stress.
Background and approach
Dr. Everett draws on several evidence-informed approaches. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors, and Client-Centered Therapy to shape treatment around each person’s values and pace.
She also integrates Gottman Method ideas when relationship patterns are part of the concern. Her background includes long experience with trauma, grief, caregiver stress, first responder issues, and challenges tied to adoption or blended families. She also helps people facing fertility concerns, workplace strain, and coping after disasters.
The work often blends skills training with reflective conversation to strengthen resilience. Across sessions, she emphasizes clear communication and practical steps. People leave with specific strategies - breathing and grounding practices, behavior experiments, or new ways to talk about difficult topics.
The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How specific approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Everett often blends approaches to meet practical concerns. Gottman Method ideas focus on identifying interaction patterns and improving communication, which can help when relationship behaviors are part of the work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s pace, allowing goals to emerge from what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behavior changes, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as needed. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that are realistic and useful in day-to-day life.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits better. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when regular written check-ins help track progress. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with their schedules.
