About Kimberly

Kimberly Laun uses practical, goal-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She draws on two decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker to offer clear steps and steady support for those trying to feel better. Kimberly writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.

She has worked in social work since graduating in 2003 and brings that background into every session.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes that build momentum over time. Sessions center on realistic goals and simple strategies to reduce worry and lift mood. Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused strategies to set short-term goals and celebrate progress. Mindfulness practices are offered to help people manage stress in the moment and improve attention to what matters most. Early sessions focus on understanding what brought someone to therapy and setting a few clear, measurable goals.

Kimberly prefers a collaborative tone - she and the client decide on small steps that fit the client’s life. Progress is tracked and adjusted as those steps produce results or reveal new directions. Her approach suits people who want practical tools and steady guidance rather than long, open-ended therapy.

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at improving day-to-day functioning. Kimberly is based in Kentucky and brings 20 years of social work experience to each appointment.

Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy

Kimberly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term, practical work that translates well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot the thoughts and behaviors that make anxiety and depression worse and try small experiments to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on setting clear, achievable goals and building on the changes that are already working in someone’s life.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets you work face to face and try behavioral exercises in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in is needed during a work break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or to continue work between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to attend around daily life.
