About Kim

Kim Mouti is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 26 years of professional experience in behavioral health. She brings a long history of supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma and other life stressors, with a clinical emphasis that includes women’s mental health concerns.

Background and approach

Her background includes work across age groups and varied life situations, and she applies that breadth to help clients navigate emotional pain, relational struggles, and career or caregiving stresses. Kim draws from several evidence-informed methods to shape a tailored approach for each person.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Attachment-Based work to explore relationship patterns, and Client-Centered techniques to create empathic understanding.

Other modalities in her toolbox include Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused interventions, which she weaves together to match individual needs such as parenting challenges, anger management, ADHD-related concerns, or issues with self-esteem and body image. Based in Ohio and credentialed as an LISW, she offers services in English and accepts clients internationally.

Kim’s practice accommodates a range of formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging, and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online therapeutic approaches and practical access

Kim often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics, making it useful for relationship struggles, attachment issues, and family problems.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may begin with one framework and adapt over time, combining techniques from client-centered or emotion-focused work when those fit better with a person’s concerns such as trauma recovery, self-esteem work, or managing anger and impulsivity.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access therapeutic support from wherever a client is located.
