About Kimberly
Kimberly "Kim" Haubner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 26 years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and brings a calm, nonjudgmental manner to sessions. Parents and caregivers often seek her out for practical guidance on managing stress and family concerns.
Kim keeps conversations straightforward and focused. She tailors her approach to each person and listens for what matters most. Sessions typically include skills practice, problem-solving, and steady support to help people make changes they can use at home.
Background and approach
Her background includes long work in outpatient mental health and extensive experience with mood disorders, addiction, and dementia-related family issues. She has helped people develop plans to reduce stress, handle life changes, and manage symptoms of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Her work with families around dementia emphasizes tools for caregivers and ways to preserve quality of life.
Therapy with Kim often mixes thought-based strategies and mindfulness, along with techniques that build emotional regulation. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. Kim also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a client-centered stance to keep sessions practical and humane.
Her style is respectful, sensitive, and down-to-earth. She aims to meet each person where they are and to design plans that fit daily life. If a parent or family member needs steady guidance and usable tools, Kim focuses on clear steps and realistic goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful when life changes or stress make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday coping. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills that many people find useful in family and relationship struggles.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one rigid method.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls give room for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions allow flexibility on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between sessions. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to practice new skills in real life while staying connected with a licensed professional.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
