About Kiliko
She uses a mix of methods so care matches the person, not a single technique. Kiliko draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build trust, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation when needed. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools to support change.
Her background includes years working with people facing chronic pain, chronic illness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma and addiction. She has experience supporting parents with the strains of parenting and people dealing with abandonment, body image, and isolation. That experience informs practical strategies for coping with day-to-day life.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Conversations often include skill practice, values-focused planning, and simple behavior experiments to test what works. Kiliko emphasizes collaboration - clients help choose which methods to try and when to adjust them.
People come to her for short-term problem solving or longer-term work on self-esteem, relationships, and life transitions. If you want a therapist who listens, offers practical tools, and respects your pace, she can be a helpful partner.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. In practice that means the therapist mirrors what a person says, asks gentle questions, and helps them sort out priorities and values, which can be done in conversation or video sessions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking, trying short behavior experiments between meetings, and reviewing results together to find what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Those skills can be taught and practiced in sessions and used as homework between meetings to see real-life changes.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't worked before, then offer methods that match the person's needs and preferences. Adjustments are made over time based on what the client finds useful.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work or caregiving, fewer travel demands, and the ability to work on skills in your usual daily setting. Because this profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current online or in-person options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
