About Kimberly

Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are stressed, anxious, depressed, or coping with big life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, parenting concerns, ADHD, relationship and family challenges, grief, and issues with sleep or eating.

Kimberly brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered listening to follow the person's lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. Her background includes school social work with PreK through 5th grade, plus work with individuals and families both in schools and in homes. That experience shaped a practical focus on communication, routines, and problem solving that fits day-to-day life.

She is familiar with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and helping people who feel isolated or overwhelmed. In sessions Kimberly helps people build better coping skills and clearer thinking. She works with parents on parenting stress and blended family challenges, and with people facing identity, body image, or impulse control struggles.

Her approach aims for small, achievable changes rather than sweeping fixes. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session through the site's Start Therapy process.

How Kimberly’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Kimberly often uses attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape behavior and emotions; this approach helps when patterns from early relationships show up in parenting, intimacy, or day-to-day stress. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then practices specific skills to change those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work together with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include checking in on what helps most and adjusting the focus as progress or new concerns arise.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels like too much. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in, get short coaching, or handle brief problem-solving between longer sessions.
