About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, grief, parenting concerns, life changes, ADHD, and issues around life purpose and career. Kimberlee also supports people managing compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family questions.
Her sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps. She uses conversations that help people notice what matters and try small changes. Expect a client-centered approach that leans on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance strategies.
Kimberlee brings trauma-informed tools when needed, including EMDR for people who have had traumatic experiences. She frames therapy within cultural context and pays attention to how race, culture, and family background shape choices and stress. That means she will ask about your history and how your situation fits with your values.
She describes her work as collaborative. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve sleep and mood, and clarify next steps after major life changes. Practical topics like parenting stress, workplace strain, and relationship patterns are often part of the conversation.
People can expect straightforward feedback, behavior-focused exercises, and mindfulness techniques to practice between meetings. The focus is on what can be tried now to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of direction.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their values and take small steps toward them while accepting difficult thoughts. It is useful for anxiety, life direction, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It often includes homework and short practice exercises.Kimberlee treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods fit your situation and try different techniques together. That lets the therapist and client decide what feels most useful for the problems at hand, whether the focus is on trauma recovery, managing stress, or clarifying life purpose.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, such as handling work stress between meetings or trying new communication strategies from home. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, ACT practices, mindfulness work, and EMDR-informed strategies to remote sessions when appropriate.
