Kimberly Hauser, LISW

Kimberly Hauser is an Ohio licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many people come to her concerned about self-esteem, grief, trauma, or patterns like codependency and trouble setting boundaries.

Kimberly focuses on practical skills you can use between sessions. She mixes client-centered conversation with clear strategies from cognitive behavioral work and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are straightforward: identify patterns that cause repeated stress, try small changes, and notice what helps.

Her approach treats real problems in everyday terms. For someone who keeps putting others first, she helps outline where that pattern shows up and what to try instead. For parents and people handling complicated family dynamics, she helps with communication, blended family issues, and fatherhood concerns without suggesting one fixed path.

Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns that include ADHD, career questions, anger, and isolation. She also supports people dealing with immigration-related stress and first responder issues. The work often combines short-term problem solving with longer conversations about values and priorities.

Kimberly asks clients to identify small, concrete goals early on. She uses those goals to guide sessions and to track progress. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to discuss goals and next steps.
