01 · Who Kiliko works with

Kiliko works with relationship issues, family conflicts and self esteem

Kiliko lists 11 specialisms and 8 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Kiliko chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Kiliko's own words

What Kiliko says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with about 13 years of experience in the counseling field. I graduated in 2010 from New York University with my MA in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness, and in 2008 from New York University with my BA in Psychology. I have experience treating children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have treated individuals with anxiety, depression, addiction, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, trauma, and adjustment to changes. I have also provided healthcare counseling around chronic/debilitating illness and end-of-life planning. I am comfortable and experienced with providing therapy to a diverse population.

My style is more eclectic when approaching therapy since it's important for me to tailor therapy to an individual's needs. I've been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

My goal is to foster a therapeutic relationship where a person feels safe, not judged, and understood. My style is warm and I will take my time to understand what's going on for you, then work with you collaboratively to figure out how to address your issues. I am here to help support you through your challenges, so please feel free to reach out and we can start this journey together.

03 · How Kiliko works

The 5 approaches Kiliko lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Kiliko lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Kiliko's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Kiliko runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Kiliko practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Kiliko's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Kiliko at this point.

2. Naming Kiliko specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Kiliko is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Kiliko.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Kiliko

Built from what Kiliko actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Kiliko's - Kiliko has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Kiliko's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Kiliko. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
