About A.
A. Kim Haws helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or major life changes. He writes plainly and listens carefully to what is worrying someone now.
He draws on long experience to offer practical ways to feel better and act differently. He has a Master’s in Counseling and four decades of clinical work. That background means he has seen many common struggles and has a range of approaches to try.
Background and approach
He often focuses on how thoughts shape feelings and behavior, and works with clients to change unhelpful thinking patterns. One approach he uses is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the beliefs that follow events and teaches ways to reframe those beliefs.
This method aims to reduce anger, anxiety, and depressive thoughts by shifting how a person interprets what happened to them. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Kim offers concrete strategies you can practice between meetings, such as changing unhelpful self-talk, new coping routines, and steps to repair relationship or intimacy problems.
He also assists with parenting stress, career concerns, addiction-related issues, and managing family conflict. People who choose him get straightforward guidance informed by many years of experience. He works to create more calm and satisfaction by changing the way a person thinks about their life events.
How his methods translate to online therapy
Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the beliefs and self-talk that follow life events. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify those beliefs and replace them with more helpful alternatives, which can ease anxiety and depression. He also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to offer practical coping skills for anger, relationship strain, and addiction-related struggles. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. Sessions may be adjusted over time based on what helps most. Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, live chat allows paced back-and-forth for those who prefer typing, and text-based messaging supports quick updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while trying approaches that aim to change how someone thinks and reacts.Questions people ask
