About Kimberly
Kimberly Hauser is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio. She offers a calm, down-to-earth approach that helps people sort through overwhelming feelings and hard life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation so people can move forward with more confidence and less worry.
Kimberly works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. She also supports people facing career transitions, burnout, grief, and challenges tied to parenting or family dynamics. Panic disorder and panic attacks are included among the concerns she lists.
Her style blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often pair reflective conversation with concrete strategies to change unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolbox for building emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Clients can expect a collaborative process. Kimberly helps identify patterns, set small goals, and practice skills between sessions. She emphasizes tools that fit everyday life rather than abstract theories.
With 14 years of clinical experience, Kimberly aims to create a respectful space where people feel seen and capable of change. She accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts work in English. To begin, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. Online sessions let Kimberly hold that same conversational, empathetic stance while you describe what matters most to you.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior to create small, doable changes. In online work CBT often includes setting practical homework, practicing new responses between sessions, and reviewing progress together.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication tactics. These are easy to review in conversation and then tried out in daily life, with follow-up discussion during sessions.
Finding the best approach is part of the process and Kimberly treats it as a collaboration. She will ask about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps you most.
