About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Hastey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of practice. She aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people juggling parenting and life stress. Her style centers on the individual's needs and respects each person's story.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most and to set clear, manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent tool she draws on to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior.
Background and approach
Narrative approaches are used to reframe difficult events and strengthen a sense of agency. Sessions often blend mindfulness skills to reduce stress and solution-focused techniques to move toward concrete steps. Kimberlyn values working at a pace the person finds comfortable and adjusts methods to suit different concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges.
She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, communication problems, and gender-related concerns. Her background includes years of experience with diverse adults, including many people from the LGBT community and those handling trauma or complex life transitions. Kimberlyn describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person leads and she helps guide the work.
People can expect a practical, story-based approach that emphasizes choice and hope. She encourages small changes that add up over time and focuses on skills people can use between sessions to manage daily demands.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Kimberlyn often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Narrative Therapy examines the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate problems from the person so new meaning and options can emerge.Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Kimberlyn will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If something isn’t helpful, she adjusts the plan so the sessions stay practical and relevant to everyday parenting and life demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide brief, on-the-go ways to touch base or manage short-term challenges between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and various routines.
