About Kim
Kim Mouti is a licensed independent social worker with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Kim supports parents and caregivers coping with the strain of raising children and the demands of care roles.
Kim uses straightforward, people-centered work. She listens carefully and helps clients name what feels hard. Then she offers practical skills to cope, reduce overwhelm, and improve daily functioning.
How Kim works
Sessions often include tools for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and changing unhelpful patterns. Her background includes long experience in clinical practice across many settings in Ohio. That history gives her familiarity with a wide range of life problems such as career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues around attachment and identity.
She also works with concerns like ADHD, eating and body image issues, and symptoms related to dissociation. Kim blends approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based work to understand relationship patterns, client-centered methods to keep the client’s goals central, and cognitive-behavioral and dialectical skills for concrete coping strategies.
Emotion-focused techniques are used when exploring feelings and improving emotional connection to oneself. Her style is collaborative and practical. She aims to make sessions feel useful from the first few meetings and to help people build skills they can use between appointments.

How Kim's approaches translate to online therapy
The therapist uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. This approach can be useful for worries about closeness, codependency, and communication problems. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client’s goals, which helps people feel heard and set the pace of change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing impulsivity by teaching concrete tools for daily life. Kim will discuss which approaches fit a person's goals and adapt methods as needs evolve, making the choice together in session.
Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins and ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family schedules, and caregiving demands while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
