About Kimberly

Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio-based licensed independent social worker (LISW) who helps adults face stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She draws on a compassionate, collaborative approach to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and building steps forward that feel doable.

Kimberly often supports people dealing with relationship strain, work burnout, parenting challenges, and identity shifts after separation or loss. She also addresses concerns like low self-esteem, anger, grief, ADHD, and career questions. Money and financial issues are included among the topics she helps people think through alongside other life stressors.

Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies. That mix means conversations are guided by the client’s priorities while also offering concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or impulsivity are central to the issue.

Kimberly emphasizes learning practical skills, spotting unhelpful patterns, and strengthening resilience. She works with each person to set clear short-term goals and track progress. Over time the goal is not only to manage symptoms but to regain a sense of agency and direction.

With 14 years of clinical experience, Kimberly brings steady, down-to-earth support to sessions. She speaks English and is available to work with clients in Ohio and with international clients through the service.

Approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s priorities so sessions stay relevant to daily life. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood as they make changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and then uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical challenges like career decisions or money-related stress.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be helpful when impulsivity, intense emotions, or relationship conflicts are central concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She will adjust strategies as needs change so therapy stays useful and manageable.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, have shorter check-ins when needed, and use tools and worksheets between meetings. Many people find remote sessions help them stay consistent while working on practical changes and coping skills.
