Background and approach
Kim holds a master's degree in counseling and a West Virginia LPC credential. He combines his professional background with personal insight to offer a range of approaches and coping techniques tailored to each person. One method he often uses focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality.
That work aims to reduce distress and create clearer choices for action. Sessions typically involve talking through situations, trying new ways of thinking, and practicing small behavioral changes. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible appointment styles.
International clients who speak English may also connect. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session through the Start Therapy button.
Approaches and online therapy options
A. Kim Haws often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. One approach helps people identify unhelpful or automatic thoughts and then test those thoughts against evidence to form more balanced ways of thinking. This method is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.He also emphasizes practical behavioral strategies that target small changes in daily routines and reactions. These steps can help with stress, anger, addictions, and adjusting to life transitions by creating new habits and clearer choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. Sessions include discussion, practice exercises, and adjustments over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and connect across distances.
