About Kimberley

Kimberley Croley is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who emphasizes a person-centered, compassionate approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship concerns, and cope with grief and major life changes. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical help and a steadier day-to-day life.

She uses clear, respectful conversation to build trust and openness. Sessions are a place to talk about what matters without feeling judged. Kimberley encourages small, achievable steps that fit into real life rather than quick fixes or jargon.

With six years of clinical licensure and a longer career in counseling, Kimberley draws on varied experiences to respond to each person's needs. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, coping with loss, and communication problems. Other areas she addresses include caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and forgiveness concerns.

Her approach blends methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness with attachment-focused and client-centered work. That mix helps people notice what matters, shift unhelpful patterns, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others.

People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance and steady support. Kimberley aims to help clients build workable routines, clearer boundaries, and more reliable ways to handle life’s ups and downs.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by shifting attention to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationship patterns affect current ways of connecting and communicating, which can be valuable for relationship concerns and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and can reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and can support continued progress between in-person appointments when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for an online setting so people can practice skills in their everyday environments.
