About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Hastey is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Texas with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, LGBT concerns, relationship intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, bipolar moods, and coping with life changes.
Her style centers on practical, structured work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on narrative methods to look at the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps that can be practiced between meetings.
Kimberlyn describes her work as client-centered. That means she concentrates on what each person brings and adjusts the process to fit their needs and goals while keeping things straightforward. She pays attention to patterns in thinking and behavior, and helps people try different responses to those patterns.
Her background includes many years helping adults from diverse backgrounds, including people from the LGBT community. She has worked with people facing both victimization and offending histories, and with individuals in small and larger group settings. Practical problems like communication, control issues, caregiver stress, and body image are part of her focus.
In sessions she combines CBT, narrative approaches, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused steps. Clients can expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns, and specific exercises to try between sessions. The work tends to be concrete and action-oriented, with attention to personal values and clear next steps.
How her methods translate to online work
Kimberlyn uses cognitive behavioral techniques and narrative therapy in ways that fit remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often translates into structured exercises and short homework tasks that can be reviewed in subsequent online meetings. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories into more helpful versions through focused conversation and reflection.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kimberlyn will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is based on what the client wants to change, how they prefer to work, and what practical steps feel doable between sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many clients find online sessions easier to fit into busy lives because they remove travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and can be scheduled around work or caregiving commitments. Online work makes it possible to keep a steady routine of short, structured sessions and follow-up exercises without adding lengthy trips to appointments.
