About Kimberly
Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 14 years of clinical experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She works with people facing relationship and family challenges, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and abuse, and the everyday strain of career and role changes. Kimberly also supports those navigating ADHD-related concerns and issues like isolation or impulsivity.
Her approach centers on listening closely and working together to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills, not just talk. She often uses cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and combines them with client-centered conversation to set goals that matter to each person.
Kimberly regularly helps people manage parenting stress, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood questions. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, infidelity, and separation or divorce concerns. First responders and people dealing with immigration-related stress are among the additional areas she supports.
In sessions she blends solution-focused techniques with elements of dialectical behavior work when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. That means short-term, concrete coping tools alongside deeper work on relationships and family of origin patterns. She frames therapy as cooperative problem-solving and skills building.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values, priorities, and goals through supportive conversation and problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches step-by-step techniques to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are practical tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods feel useful and adjust as needs and goals change. That means trying short-term strategies when immediate relief is needed and shifting to deeper work when patterns and relationships become the focus.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skill coaching, and solution-focused planning to an online setting so sessions stay practical and goal oriented.
