About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, career issues, ADHD, and related concerns. She also helps with family and relationship patterns, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and life transitions.
Kimberlee takes a practical, person-focused approach. She listens first, then helps people set concrete goals. Sessions often involve learning coping skills, practicing new ways to respond, and looking at how culture and family shape reactions. She describes her work as collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Her methods draw from several evidence-based approaches. Kimberlee uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques to help people clarify values and take committed action. Mindfulness practices are used to reduce reactivity and improve attention.
For people coping with traumatic memories or persistent distress, she offers EMDR as one option to process upsetting experiences. Client-centered principles underline the work - the person’s perspective guides the pace and focus of therapy. Motivational interviewing can be added when people need extra support making changes.
Sessions emphasize simple, usable tools you can try between meetings. The therapist frames difficulties like anger or burnout as responses to real pressures, and she helps people develop alternatives that fit their daily life. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when anger or frustration gets in the way of the life you want by shifting attention to chosen behavior rather than fighting feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that lead to outbursts or persistent irritation and teaches practical experiments to test new ways of responding.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered for people with distressing memories that contribute to ongoing reactivity. It uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and their hold on present-day responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, history, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made and new priorities appear.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before you book. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. The therapist helps adapt exercises and between-session work so they fit into everyday life and obligations.
