Kimberlee VanBurch

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She brings 15 years of clinical experience in New Jersey and supports clients through life transitions and caregiving challenges. Kimberlee uses a practical, person-centered way of working that focuses on what matters most to each person.

She meets people where they are and helps them build skills for handling strong emotions and everyday strain. Sessions aim to strengthen coping strategies for sleep problems, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, or the demands of parenting and work. Kimberlee also addresses relationship patterns that trace back to family of origin, abandonment, or blended family concerns.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered listening. She may incorporate eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when trauma memories are part of the problem. The result is a flexible plan tailored to each person’s background and goals.

Kimberlee emphasizes cultural context and a strengths-based style. That means exploring how identity, roles, and life circumstances shape reactions and choices. She works collaboratively to set small, actionable goals and to track practical progress over time.

People who choose Kimberlee typically want clear tools and steady support while they work through big feelings and life changes. To begin, she guides clients through steps that make scheduling and planning straightforward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small action steps that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress, anxiety, and anger active. It uses exercises and homework to build new routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional charge when those memories interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. Plans are adjusted along the way so methods fit the client’s needs and pace.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins between longer appointments. It can also let someone participate from a quieter location, avoid being on camera if they prefer, or use tools like worksheets and guided mindfulness practices during the session. Licensed professionals can guide you in matching an approach and session rhythm to everyday routines.
