About Kimberly
Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental so people can talk openly about what feels hard right now.
She brings 20 years of experience in school and community settings across Indiana. That background means she is used to working alongside teachers, parents, and support teams to find realistic ways forward.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on building healthier coping skills and clearer thinking patterns that fit daily life. Kimberly uses simple, evidence-informed approaches that people can try between meetings. She combines attention to relationships and attachment with problem-solving steps and mindfulness techniques.
That mix is meant to help with emotional regulation, communication problems, and recurrent patterns that keep causing pain. People who come to her for parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma, or mood struggles will find focused, practical work. She aims to identify small changes that make daily life easier and improve relationships over time.
Homework is concrete and usually feels doable. Kimberly prefers to keep sessions person-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and a stepwise plan.
Her approach is gentle but purposeful, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It looks at patterns people repeat with others and helps them build steadier ways of relating that reduce distress.Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience at the center. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the client, helping them name goals and move at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day and to follow up between longer sessions.
