About Kimberly
Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio licensed independent social worker, LISW, with 14 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate stress and parenting challenges. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and the practical strains of everyday parenting and life change.
She focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. That means noticing repeating patterns, trying straightforward coping strategies, and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. Conversations are collaborative and goal oriented, with emphasis on skills that people can use between appointments.
Kimberly blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies. She draws on these approaches to address things like communication problems, codependency, blended family issues, and fatherhood concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, anger, and impulsivity by building concrete skills and safety plans that fit their situation.
Her practice often helps adults facing separation, divorce, immigration-related stress, or the pressures that come with certain professions such as first responders. Work on career strain, commitment and infidelity issues, and isolation or loneliness is framed around practical steps and behavioral changes you can try between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details so they match everyday life and responsibilities.
How sessions work
How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first through open listening and reflection. It helps clarify what feels most important and builds a practical plan based on the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses specific exercises to test unhelpful patterns and develop new skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and day-to-day reality. That decision is revisited as progress is made and circumstances change, so treatment can stay practical and focused on what helps most.
The biography does not specify particular online formats, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays or work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing preferred rhythms and tools during the first appointment helps align sessions with parenting schedules and other responsibilities.
