About Kimberly
Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, grieving, managing mood concerns such as depression or bipolar disorder, and those wanting better ways to cope with relationship and family strains including parenting and anger.
She has worked as a school social worker with preschool through fifth grade. That background means she is familiar with school systems, working with families, and coordinating with teachers and other team members. She has also worked directly with individuals and adolescents in homes and academic settings.
In session she uses straightforward, practical methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships. She uses client-centered conversation to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Kimberly pays attention to how past experiences and trauma can affect current reactions. She helps people notice patterns such as impulsivity, resentment, or avoidance and then practices different responses. Sessions focus on skills people can use right away to reduce outbursts, manage anger, or lower daily stress.
Her work includes supporting parenting concerns, adoption and foster care questions, body image and eating-related worries, and issues tied to attachment and blended family life. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, aiming for clearer communication and more manageable day-to-day functioning.
How her approaches apply to online sessions
Kimberly commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how patterns in close relationships affect reactions and communication, which can help when anger flares around partners or family. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve mood.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and preferences, then try approaches that fit those needs. That means sessions can shift over time from problem-focused skill work to exploring relationship patterns as needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, reduce travel time, or fit therapy around work and family commitments. They can also allow someone to use video or phone depending on what feels most practical for the moment.
