Kimberly Hauser, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Kimberly

Kimberly Hauser is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) based in Ohio who centers care on compassion and collaboration. She offers straightforward support for common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so people can feel steadier and more capable over time.

Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and solution-focused methods. That means conversations look at thought patterns, build on strengths, and try small, useful changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Kimberly emphasizes simple tools that can be used right away at home or work. She brings 14 years of experience to each meeting and keeps the tone direct and respectful. People can expect a collaborative process where the therapist listens first, then helps create a plan that fits daily life.

Progress is measured by the client’s goals rather than abstract standards. Kimberly also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges. Additional focuses include blended family issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and isolation or loneliness.

She uses her experience to help clarify patterns and reduce overwhelm. Therapy sessions may include talking through emotions, practicing new skills, and setting achievable steps forward. The aim is steady, practical change so people can handle present challenges and move toward their goals with more confidence.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful relationship so people feel understood. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort out feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence mood and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their situation. Sessions can mix approaches so the plan stays practical and responsive to what’s working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different routines. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, while chat or text is useful for short check-ins and practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life is busy or transitions are happening.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
