Kimberly Hauser, LISW

Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life changes. She works with people who are dealing with relationship and family strain, parenting pressures, career shifts, grief, trauma and abuse, and attention-related concerns.

Kimberly keeps sessions practical and straightforward. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating, then helps clients try small changes to test what works. Conversations focus on problem solving, behavior changes, and building skills to handle strong emotions like anger and impulsivity.

Her work often combines idea-driven tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense feelings and improving emotional regulation. The emphasis is on clear steps people can practice between sessions.

Clients bring a range of concerns including blended family issues, communication problems, commitment worries, codependency, and fatherhood-related stress. She also addresses first responder issues, immigration-related stress, infidelity, and isolation or loneliness when these affect daily functioning.

Kimberly describes her role as collaborative: she helps people set goals and figure out what interventions feel useful. Sessions include talking through immediate problems, trying behavioral experiments, and working on skills to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

Practical matters are handled up front - session format and scheduling are arranged through the site. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
