About Kimberly
Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage strong emotions and everyday stress. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often centers on anger, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
She brings 20 years of experience from school social work in Indiana, including work with Pre K through 5th grade students. That background means she is used to coordinating with teachers and other adults in a child’s life while keeping the person at the center of care.
Background and approach
Kimberly has worked with individuals, adolescents, and their families in schools and in home settings. Her approach is straightforward and accepting. She listens without judgment and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck.
Then she and the client try small, doable changes to thoughts, behaviors, or routines. Kimberly uses a mix of techniques depending on what a person needs. That can include looking at attachment patterns, practicing mindfulness skills, and using cognitive-behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking.
She also draws on solution-focused work to set clear goals and track progress. Sessions aim to boost practical coping skills for parenting stress, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD-related impulsivity, and relationship or family tensions. People also come for support after trauma, grief, or issues affecting self-esteem and body image.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She helps people try new ways to handle difficult feelings and build routines that reduce reactivity over time.

How these approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust formed in early relationships. Online sessions help people notice how those patterns show up now and practice new ways of relating to others and to their own feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions clients learn simple exercises and track small behavior changes between meetings to reduce reactivity and improve mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that calm the body and reduce impulsive reactions. Short guided practices and breath work can be done during video or audio sessions and practiced later on the person’s own time.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you will trial methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online work offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow more direct interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or shorter notes between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep momentum while fitting therapy into a real life.
