About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Hastey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also supports people facing burnout and compassion fatigue.
Her style leans on cognitive behavioral approaches and narrative therapy while keeping the client at the center of the work. That means she listens for the story someone tells about their life and looks for practical, change-oriented steps. Sessions often include looking at thinking patterns, experimenting with different behaviors, and naming the stories that shape feelings.
Kimberlyn has worked with adults across a wide age range and with many life situations. She has experience with people from LGBTQ+ communities and has worked with both survivors and people who have caused harm. She has seen individuals in one-to-one work as well as small and larger group settings.
In practical terms she focuses on skills people can use between sessions. That can mean short experiments to try at home, reframing unhelpful thoughts, or rewriting parts of a life story to reduce shame and increase agency. She discusses concrete tools and next steps in each meeting.
People who come because anger is getting in the way often leave with clearer patterns to watch for, a few behavioral skills to test, and a plan for how to interrupt cycles of resentment or sudden outbursts. Kimberlyn aims to help people identify what they want to change and how to take the next small step.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Kimberlyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps people rewrite those stories to reduce shame and open up new choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most.
