A. Kim Haws

A. Kim Haws is a licensed professional counselor with 40 years of experience helping people navigate major life challenges. He focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addictions, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. His style is straightforward and practical. He aims to help people notice how their thinking shapes feelings and behavior.

Kim draws on a Master’s degree in counseling and decades of clinical work and life experience. He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method. One approach he often uses is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches ways to reframe those thoughts.

Sessions focus on clear steps people can take between meetings. Kim helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and then practices alternatives together. He emphasizes realistic changes that fit into everyday life.

People who come for help with parenting or relationship stress can expect practical problem solving and attention to how thoughts influence feelings. For work-related or career concerns, he helps clients sort priorities and make decisions that feel manageable.

Throughout his practice Kim aims to create easier thinking about tough events so people can find more peace and joy. He works with each person at their own pace and adjusts methods to match their goals and situation.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

A key method used in practice is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. This approach looks at the thoughts that lead to distress and teaches ways to reframe unhelpful thinking so feelings and actions change. It can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and coping after difficult events.

Kim also uses general evidence-based techniques that focus on identifying patterns and practicing new responses. These techniques involve setting small goals, testing different ways of thinking, and reviewing what works in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That helps make sessions feel practical and personally useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit help into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or conversations that fit a break at work.
