Kimberly HauserLISW

Kimberly Hauser is a licensed independent social worker who focuses on helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She brings a calm, curious style to sessions and aims to create a space where people can reflect and build practical skills. Kimberly uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to help clients move toward clearer goals.

She commonly supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures, burnout, and transitions such as career change or separation. Many clients seek help for low self-esteem, grief, trauma, anger, or attention-related challenges. Kimberly combines short-term tools with work on underlying patterns so progress feels useful in daily life.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused ideas. That means sessions focus on the person’s experience, identifying unhelpful thoughts or habits, and testing small, doable changes. She emphasizes skills you can practice between sessions.

With 14 years of clinical experience and an OH LISW credential, Kimberly draws on real-world practice rather than abstract theory. She describes her role as a partner in problem-solving rather than an instructor.

People often come to her wanting clearer communication, better emotional balance, and more confidence in decision making. The work typically mixes short-term strategies and deeper exploration tailored to each person’s situation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard and understood while they name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. These approaches work well for anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and life transitions because they combine reflection with concrete steps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what feels helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep, tweak, or set aside as work progresses.

The original biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions when someone is managing childcare, work breaks, or recovery from childbirth, as fitting therapy around life tends to improve consistency and follow-through.
