About Kimberly
Kimberly Laun is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, and depression, and lists isolation, loneliness, and social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus. Kimberly describes a practical, solution-focused approach to helping people make changes in their lives.
She began her social work career after graduating from the University of Tennessee in 2003 and has worked across different levels of mental health care. That background informs how she structures sessions: clear goals, step-by-step plans, and straightforward strategies. Sessions typically start with a conversation about what brought someone to therapy and what they hope to achieve.
Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to break down problems into manageable parts. CBT is used to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness work helps people build awareness and steady their attention. Solution-Focused methods emphasize small, practical steps toward change.
Her style is described as supportive and goal-oriented, aiming to help people identify meaningful objectives and take steady action. Early sessions prioritize setting realistic goals and making a plan that fits the person’s day-to-day life.
People can expect clear explanations of techniques and homework-style practice when appropriate. The process is collaborative: clients and Kimberly work together to track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
How Kimberly uses CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused work online
Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test new ways of thinking. CBT breaks problems into smaller pieces so practical changes can be tried and reviewed in daily life. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety symptoms. These practices are taught in short exercises that can be used between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and prioritizes what you want to do differently next. It helps people build quick, concrete habits rather than focusing only on past problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. She adjusts strategies based on progress and feedback so the plan stays practical and manageable.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt homework, breathing exercises, and behavioral experiments to work well in remote sessions, helping people apply techniques in their everyday routines.
