About Kimberly

Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who brings 20 years of experience to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood concerns, family challenges, trauma, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She has worked across school and home settings with individuals, adolescents, and caregivers, and draws on that background when tailoring support to each person's needs. Her style is grounded in acceptance and nonjudgmental listening, creating a collaborative space to explore healthier coping skills and shifts in thinking.

Kimberly uses practical, evidence-informed tools to address problems like depression, grief, ADHD-related concerns, relationship difficulties, and worries about eating, sleeping, or self-esteem. She also supports work around attachment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care, and women's issues.

By combining cognitive behavioral techniques with attachment-focused and client-centered approaches, she helps clients identify patterns and try new, manageable strategies for change. People who work with Kimberly can expect a partnership-oriented process that emphasizes skill-building, clearer communication, and realistic steps toward improvement.

She welcomes those ready to take action on stressors and life changes and assists them in setting goals and exploring solutions that fit their circumstances.

Approaches for Online Healing and Practical Change



Kimberly incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors; this approach is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current communication and emotional responses, which can be helpful for family and relationship concerns. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, offering an accepting, empathic atmosphere where the client's perspective guides the work and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kimberly treats that as a collaborative effort. She will work with each person to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what feels most helpful. The focus is on practical steps and building skills that fit the client's life and values.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for fitting therapy into busy schedules and for continuing work between appointments. These formats make it easier to access regular support while maintaining consistency in treatment and applying strategies in day-to-day situations.
