About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She frames the work as collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills people can use between meetings to feel steadier and move toward personal goals.
She draws on a person-centered approach that respects each client's background and culture. That means conversations center on what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Kimberlee emphasizes strengths and builds on what already works in a person’s life. Her style blends several evidence-informed methods so she can match the approach to each concern. Techniques from cognitive behavioral work help shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. For people coping with traumatic memories, Kimberlee uses EMDR to process distressing events when appropriate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present.
She also uses motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. With 15 years of experience, Kimberlee supports a wide range of issues beyond anxiety and depression. These include sleep problems, grief, caregiver stress, blended family challenges, chronic illness, and work-related burnout.
Her work often includes communication and family-of-origin themes. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. New clients start by completing a short questionnaire and then scheduling a time that fits their needs.
How Kimberlee’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when anxiety or painful thoughts show up. It’s useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent worry.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and then testing new ways of acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be used online to help process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is an option for people struggling with distress from past events.
Kimberlee treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will discuss goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then recommend methods that fit. Over the first few sessions she checks in and adjusts the plan together with the client.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or clients prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, caregiving, or medical routines.
