About Kimberly
Kimberly Laun is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers her work on practical, goal-oriented methods to address stress, anxiety, and depression.
Background and approach
With two decades of experience since earning her degree in 2003, Kimberly blends structured techniques and compassionate guidance to help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop steady strategies for day-to-day improvement. She describes her style as supportive and solution-focused, emphasizing clear goals and manageable steps toward change.
Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and solution-focused approaches, allowing her to tailor interventions to each person's needs. Many clients seek her help for social anxiety, isolation or loneliness, and persistent worry or low mood; Kimberly uses collaborative planning to identify priorities and practical exercises that foster clarity and greater balance.
Early sessions focus on understanding the reasons for seeking therapy, setting goals, and establishing a workable plan so progress can unfold at a sustainable pace.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach often involves practical exercises and experiments that can be assigned between sessions. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to review goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then tailor techniques from CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused strategies to fit individual needs and pace. This allows adjustments over time so the care matches what is actually helping.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to work on practical skills, review between-session activities, and maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not feasible, supporting steady progress toward identified goals.
