Kia Hebb, LPC

Kia Hebb is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in West Virginia with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Kia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so clients can start feeling better in daily life.

Her approach centers on listening first and following the client's lead. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional insight.

Kia often begins work by asking about what matters most to the client and setting clear goals. She uses a goals sheet with areas like relationships, work, health, and emotional well-being so progress stays focused and measurable. Between-session tasks are offered when they will help practice new skills in real situations.

Sessions are roughly 45 minutes and start with a get-to-know-you conversation where Kia explains her education, orientation, and experience, and invites questions. After intake she and the client collaborate on a plan and revisit goals about every six months to track change and adjust focus.

She has experience supporting people facing identity and sexuality concerns, body image and eating issues, codependency and communication problems, gender dysphoria, and trauma-related issues such as domestic violence and HIV/AIDS. Kia emphasizes practical steps, clear goals, and steady support as clients work toward meaningful change.

How Kia’s approaches translate to online sessions

Kia often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. That approach focuses on practical skills and short-term steps to reduce anxiety, manage impulses, and shift self-critical patterns.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This helps when intimacy, abandonment fears, or communication problems are a concern, and it supports building more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kia treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients choose techniques that match their goals and comfort. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when audio alone is preferred. Live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or family commitments.
