Kimberlee VanBurch , LCSW

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She names women’s issues among her focus areas and supports people coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Kimberlee keeps language straightforward and practical when talking through daily struggles.

She uses a person-centered style that centers each client's goals and experience. Sessions focus on building coping skills, clarifying values, and taking small steps that add up over time. Kimberlee blends approaches to match what a person needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her approach is strength-based and culturally aware. She pays attention to how culture, family of origin, and life roles shape stress and meaning. This perspective helps when dealing with issues such as abandonment, caregiving challenges, chronic illness, or identity-related concerns.

Kimberlee draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness work, and EMDR when appropriate. She aims to help people reduce symptoms and find clearer direction in daily life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person's readiness.

With 15 years of experience as an LCSW in New Jersey, Kimberlee combines practical techniques with steady support. She works with individuals who want a thoughtful, respectful approach to change and healing.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Kimberlee commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on practical action rather than symptom elimination.

She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions, a hands-on approach that looks at patterns of thought and behavior. CBT teaches tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve mood and sleep, making it useful for depression, worry, and sleep disruption.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kimberlee will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and track progress so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people have a face-to-face session from elsewhere. Phone sessions work when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or unpredictable days while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
