About Kimberlyn
Kimberlyn Hastey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, grief, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Kimberlyn uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's priorities in focus. She combines cognitive behavioral ideas with narrative approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and reconsider the stories they tell themselves. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational rather than overly technical.
She often helps people untangle guilt and shame connected to family, faith, or relationships. That can mean looking at specific choices, or the long-term effects of childhood and family of origin issues. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and caregiving burden.
Her work includes attention to gender and sexual identity concerns, body image, dissociation, and difficulties with anger or control. She has experience with people who identify as LGBT and with people who have had both victim and offender roles in their histories.
In sessions Kimberlyn draws on mindfulness to help with grounding and CBT techniques to shift thinking and behavior. Narrative ideas are used to rewrite harmful stories and solution-focused steps help with immediate, practical goals. She aims to help people find clearer options and manageable next steps.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Kimberlyn commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or depression and then testing and changing them with practical exercises. Narrative therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, less damaging narratives.Finding the right approach is often a process. She works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs and goals, and may combine CBT, narrative ideas, and mindfulness tools depending on the issue and what the person prefers.

Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, use a shorter check-in when needed, or choose not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, narrative conversations, and mindfulness practices to a remote setting, helping keep work practical and focused on day-to-day changes.
