About Kimberlee

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey. She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Kimberlee also helps with parenting concerns, sleep problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues related to coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

She uses a person-centered style that starts with the client's goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Kimberlee aims to help people build clearer coping skills and handle immediate difficulties in daily life.

Her work blends several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice thoughts and choose values-driven actions.

For people recovering from traumatic events, Kimberlee incorporates methods to reduce distress and process painful memories. She emphasizes cultural context and pays attention to how identity and background shape experience. That means she tries to meet people where they are and adapt strategies to fit their life.

Kimberlee has 15 years of experience in the field. She encourages small steps that add up over time and supports people through change with a strengths-based approach. To begin, she asks about goals and works with each person to find realistic next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it emphasizes small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can reduce worry and improve daily routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce distress tied to traumatic memories by processing those memories in a structured way; it can help people who are struggling after traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberlee will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts techniques based on how someone responds and what matters most to them.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical skills and steady progress.
