About Kimberly
Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, parenting challenges, grief, relationship issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family-related topics and a range of focused issues like attachment, adoption and foster care, and body image.
She currently works as a school social worker serving Pre K through 5th grade and has experience working with individuals and adolescents. Her practice includes work in schools and in-home settings, and she often coordinates with families and multidisciplinary teams to identify areas of need.
In sessions she emphasizes practical coping strategies and clearer ways of thinking. She helps people notice patterns that raise stress or lead to impulsive reactions. Conversations are straightforward and focused on small, usable changes that can reduce snapping, simmering resentment, or workplace frustration.
Kimberly uses approaches grounded in attachment, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She draws on those methods to help people build better routines, manage intense moments, and repair communication problems.
Her background in schools informs a pragmatic style that highlights teamwork with caregivers and other professionals. People who want concrete tools for anger, parenting strain, or daily stress often find this direct, skills-focused method helpful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds shape reactions in adult relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns that feed anger or distance.Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience and goals. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client’s priorities while helping them name feelings and try new ways of responding.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thoughts that escalate anger and replaces them with more balanced thinking. It also teaches practical behavior changes and coping skills for managing stress and impulsivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from attachment work, CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused strategies as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in her biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use the online setting to practice skills between meetings and to apply techniques directly to everyday situations.
