About Kimberly
Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio-licensed social worker, LISW, with 14 years of clinical experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career transitions, trauma, grief, and the daily demands that create burnout. Sessions focus on practical steps rather than long theory talks.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused methods. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and then experiment with different responses. That can mean building simple behavior plans, practicing new communication moves, or testing small changes between sessions.
Kimberly often supports people dealing with blended family challenges, communication problems, codependency, and separation or divorce. She also works with issues such as impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, first responder stress, and immigration-related concerns. These topics are handled in short, concrete steps that aim to reduce immediate distress and increase daily functioning.
In sessions she prioritizes clear goals and measurable progress. Clients and Kimberly set achievable next steps and review what worked. Sessions may include skill practice, structured problem solving, and goal-focused coaching.
People should expect straightforward, goal-oriented conversations that include homework-like tasks to try between meetings. This style is intended for adults ready to notice patterns, test alternatives, and make steady changes over time.
How CBT and related approaches are used in online sessions
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then test practical changes. CBT sessions often include clear goals, short exercises, and tasks to try between meetings to measure what helps.She also draws on client-centered techniques that focus on the client’s perspective and on solution-focused methods that break big problems into manageable next steps. Client-centered work helps clarify what matters most to the person, while solution-focused work emphasizes quick, achievable changes to reduce immediate stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kimberly collaborates with each person to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what shows early progress. That collaborative planning is reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed.
