Kimberly Hauser

Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio licensed social worker who helps adults handle difficult feelings and life changes. She uses a compassionate, collaborative style to make therapy feel practical and manageable. Many people come to her for stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship or work-related strain.

Kimberly focuses on getting through big transitions like career shifts, separation, grief, or burnout. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build everyday tools that make life steadier. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable steps.

Her work is client-centered, meaning the person in the room shapes the goals and pace. She listens for strengths to build on, then tests small changes so progress feels real. The tone is direct but warm, with practical suggestions and space to process difficult emotions.

With 14 years of clinical experience as an LISW - Licensed Independent Social Worker - Kimberly brings steady experience without jargon. She supports people dealing with family-of-origin issues, blended family concerns, parenting stress, first responder strain, immigration-related adjustment, and problems like codependency or impulsivity.

Therapy with her often includes short skill-building exercises and conversation about what’s getting in the way day to day. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and better ways to handle anger, grief, or challenging relationships.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s needs and goals, giving space to reflect and choose what change looks like. It helps when someone needs support sorting values, priorities, or emotional reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions and uses practical exercises to test small changes that reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on current needs and goals. That means adjusting strategies over time and testing what produces useful, manageable results.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and offer flexibility for people in different regions. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach skills, practice responses to anger or stress, and set concrete homework to try between meetings.
