About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Hastey is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a broad range of emotional and life stressors. She draws from 15 years of practice to help people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or parenting challenges. Kimberlyn keeps sessions straightforward and centered on each person’s story and goals.
Her style is client-centered, which means she respects the client’s pace and priorities. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Background and approach
Narrative therapy is another frequent tool she uses to help people reframe difficult experiences and make changes that fit their values. Kimberlyn has worked in Texas and brings long-term experience across many concerns, including stress, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and parenting. She has also supported people with LGBT-related concerns, bipolar moods, and grief.
Her additional focus areas include body image, communication and control issues, caregiver stress, and family of origin problems. Sessions are aimed at clear, usable steps rather than vague discussions. Kimberlyn uses short-term problem solving when helpful and deeper story work when clients want it.
She values practical strategies people can try between sessions. People who choose Kimberlyn can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental approach that emphasizes collaboration. She sees therapy as a shared process where the client’s experience leads the way.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy puts the client’s priorities first and focuses on listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace; it helps when someone needs space to tell their story and choose their next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice the present moment and manage stress through simple attention and breathing practices.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and personal preferences, then suggest one or a mix of methods to try. Adjustments happen as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and realistic for the person.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. These formats offer flexibility for shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions. They let people connect from home or work and keep therapy consistent when life gets in the way of in-person visits.
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.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
