Kimberly Rose , LICSW

Kimberly Rose is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on women's issues along with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. Kimberly aims to make therapy direct and understandable so people can use what they learn right away.

She uses plain talk and practical steps in sessions. Clients work on skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and coping with loss. Kimberly also supports those facing career changes, parenting stress, adoption or foster care challenges, and relationship tension.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness with a client-centered attitude. Sessions often include short exercises, real-world practice, and coaching-style problem solving to meet daily demands. The goal is to build tools that fit each person's life and schedule.

Kimberly has a long background in child welfare policy and program work, and she has spent much of her career helping adolescents and transitional-age clients. More recently she has focused on individual counseling for grief and loss, including pet loss, and on strengthening self-worth and communication skills.

She offers flexible session formats and works with a wide range of concerns such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, gender dysphoria, fertility-related stress, and midlife questions. Kimberly brings steady experience and calm guidance to people looking for practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking steps that matter, even when feelings are difficult. It can help people facing grief, life transitions, or low motivation to move toward what they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to set the pace and goals of their work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then shape sessions together. This collaborative process helps pick methods that fit the person's life and priorities rather than imposing a single technique.

Online therapy lets sessions fit into busy schedules. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it simpler to get steady support while balancing work, family, and daily demands.
