About Kimberly

Kimberly Bellar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps parents and caregivers manage stress around family life. She draws on two decades of experience supporting people through parenting challenges, anxiety, grief, mood shifts, and life transitions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making hard conversations easier to have.

She has worked in schools with Pre K through 5th grade and with individuals and parents in home and academic settings.

Background and approach

That background gives her practical insight into routines, behavior at school, and how family patterns affect daily life. Sessions focus on realistic changes that fit each household. Kimberly uses attachment-based approaches to strengthen relationships and build trust between parents and children.

She also uses client-centered methods to listen to what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors in small steps. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting, ADHD, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also works with adoption and foster care topics, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and women's issues. People who work with Kimberly can expect clear goals, practical strategies, and reflective conversation. She aims to help parents find coping tools and new ways to respond when situations feel overwhelming.

Scheduling is handled through the platform's matching and booking system.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches work online

Attachment-based work helps people notice patterns in close relationships and build more predictable responses. Online sessions can be used to talk through family interactions, rehearse new responses, and plan small changes in routines that affect children and caregivers.

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting what matters to the parent or caregiver. In virtual meetings this looks like open conversation about daily struggles, priorities, and strengths so goals are shaped by the client's concerns and values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors step by step. It is effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and parenting stress because it breaks big problems into practical tasks to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the family's rhythm, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client's feedback guides the path forward.

Online formats make therapy easier to fit into busy family life. Video calls let people use visual cues and share examples from the home. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility so families can stay consistent with care.
