About Kimberly

Kimberly Hauser is a licensed social worker in Ohio who blends practical, skills-based methods with a compassionate, client-centered stance. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with solution-focused and emotion-regulation strategies to help people identify unhelpful patterns and develop tools for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Kimberly frames therapy as a collaborative process where insight and action go hand in hand. Her practice often supports adults navigating major life transitions such as career changes, separation or grief, and the ripple effects of burnout.

She also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting and fatherhood questions, and a broad range of everyday struggles including anger, isolation, and career pressures. Her additional focus areas include blended family dynamics, codependency, communication and commitment issues, immigration-related stress, and challenges related to impulsivity or ADHD.

With 14 years of clinical experience and the Ohio LISW credential, Kimberly emphasizes practical strategies that fit each person’s goals and circumstances. She aims to create an accepting environment where clients can reflect, repair what matters, and build lasting coping skills for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Kimberly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so the therapy plan aligns with individual goals and preferences rather than a preset formula.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling more flexible and to meet clients where they are. These formats allow continued access during life transitions, easier coordination around work or family responsibilities, and the ability to use skills learned in session in everyday settings.
