About Kimberly
Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to help people manage strong emotions and everyday strain.
Her work often centers on relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, self-esteem, grief, and career transitions. She also helps with trauma and abuse recovery, ADHD-related challenges, and issues such as impulsivity or isolation. Kimberly uses straightforward conversations to identify what is keeping someone stuck and what can change.
Kimberly blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas. She also uses solution-focused techniques to build steps that feel doable. That mix allows her to coach people through immediate problems while also addressing patterns that recur over time.
In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and try out new behaviors between meetings. She keeps interventions concrete - for example, short behavioral experiments, communication practice, and emotion regulation skills. Work in therapy moves at a practical pace with clear goals.
Kimberly accepts clients from Ohio and from other locations who wish to work with an Ohio LISW. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online work
Kimberly uses client-centered listening and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in practical ways. Client-centered listening means the therapist focuses on the client's concerns and priorities, helping people talk through what matters most to them. CBT targets patterns of thought and behavior, offering clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful routines.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-informed skills teach concrete techniques for handling intense feelings and improving communication under stress. Together these approaches help with mood, relationship strain, impulsivity, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Kimberly will help identify which approaches fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday problems.
