About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Athuman is an Iowa LISW with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, stress and anxiety, and related issues such as grief, sleep problems, anger, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Dr. Athuman helps people sort through parenting challenges and the daily pressure those bring. She works with individuals facing mood struggles, attention differences, and relationship strain. People who come for support can expect straightforward conversations about symptoms, routines, and what specifically feels hard right now.
Her style emphasizes practical skills and problem-solving alongside understanding personal history. Sessions include identifying strengths, testing small changes, and building coping strategies that fit the client’s life. Cultural background and identity are respected as part of how problems and solutions show up.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on mood, attention, and stress regulation. That can look like skill practice, behavior changes, and talking through patterns that keep problems going. The aim is to leave sessions with clear steps to try between meetings.
Dr. Athuman frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set concrete goals and measures progress in ways that make sense to them. Before booking, confirm the current session options so you know which formats are offered.

How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Athuman uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach is skill-based work that teaches short, practical strategies for managing stress, sleep, and mood; this helps when daily routines and small habits are causing or maintaining problems. Another frequent element is behavioral planning for attention and parenting challenges, which breaks tasks into manageable steps and adjusts routines to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That planning happens together so approaches are adjusted as progress is seen or obstacles appear.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online or in-person options are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during breaks, or offering access when leaving home would be difficult. Licensed professionals can use that flexibility to focus on practical skill practice and routine changes that carry over into daily life.
