About Kimberly

Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood conditions like depression and bipolar disorder. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental, aiming to help people find steadier ways to cope.

She has 20 years of experience and works in school settings with children from pre-K through fifth grade. That background means she is used to coordinating with families and other professionals to identify practical needs and create supports. She has worked both in schools and in homes, giving her a view of how problems show up in daily life.

Kimberly uses approaches that focus on relationships and the present moment. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. She also uses client-centered methods to make the client’s goals the priority.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are part of her work when changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors matters. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused techniques are used to build simple, doable skills for daily life. Sessions are aimed at helping people try different coping strategies and see what helps.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and patterns. It helps people understand why certain events trigger strong responses and can be useful for addressing anger tied to abandonment or attachment wounds.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's goals and experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Kimberly will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Sessions often combine techniques so people can test what helps for their anger, anxiety, or stress in everyday settings.

Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats were not specified. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins, reduce travel time, and allow work around school or job breaks. It can also let people practice new skills in the same environments where challenges occur, which may help carry changes into daily life.
