Kimberlyn Hastey

Kimberlyn Hastey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, body image concerns, and eating and food-related issues. She works in a way that centers each person’s story and goals. Kimberlyn aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters to them and set practical steps forward.

With 15 years of experience, Kimberlyn draws most often from cognitive behavioral and narrative approaches while keeping sessions client-centered. That means she listens first, then helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and short-term goals.

Her background includes work with a wide range of adults and people from diverse communities, including many from the LGBT community. She has experience supporting people dealing with trauma, relationship struggles, parenting stress, first responder issues, caregiver burnout, and complex mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. The focus is on practical change and making daily life more manageable.

In sessions Kimberlyn helps people reframe difficult memories, test new habits, and practice small experiments that reduce distress. She encourages clear communication, boundary setting, and realistic problem solving. People who want a collaborative, story-focused approach often find her style helpful.

To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability. Kimberlyn accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How Kimberlyn’s approaches fit into online therapy

Kimberlyn commonly blends cognitive behavioral and narrative strategies with a client-centered stance. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on noticing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or mood swings. Narrative work invites clients to tell and reshape the story they carry about themselves, which can help with body image, eating concerns, and grief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberlyn listens to each person’s goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try together. She adjusts direction as clients report what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy evolves with practical feedback.

Please confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow a person to work with a licensed professional in Texas while living elsewhere, subject to scheduling and regional rules.
