About A.
A. Kim Haws welcomes adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or life changes. He presents a calm, straightforward style and focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and build steadier emotional responses.
He has a Master’s degree in Counseling and brings 40 years of experience to his work. Over time he has helped people who struggle with depression, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career worries, and coping after major changes.
Background and approach
Kim uses approaches that encourage people to look at the thoughts behind their feelings. He often follows Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new ways of thinking, and test those ideas in daily life. Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can practice between meetings.
In conversations he keeps language plain and goals practical. Clients can expect to talk through recent events, identify thought patterns that fuel anger or anxiety, and work on small changes that produce steadier reactions. He offers a variety of strategies rather than one fixed method.
That lets him match techniques to what each person needs, whether the concern is stress at work, struggles with intimacy, or managing anger during tough moments.
What A. works with
Everything A. lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in A.'s practice.
Approaches that translate well to online work
A key approach he uses is Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy. This method helps people spot rigid or negative thought patterns and practice more helpful ways of thinking. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and low self-esteem.He also draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on real-life practice. These methods emphasize short exercises, homework, and rehearsal of new responses between sessions to change how someone reacts to stressful situations.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients help shape which techniques are used and when to shift strategies.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video helps recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and messaging supports ongoing, day-to-day work between meetings. These options give flexibility while keeping focus on practicing new thinking and behavior.
