About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama. She brings six years of licensed clinical experience and a long history of counseling to help people manage stress and anxiety. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes.
Kimberley focuses on practical ways to cope so daily life feels more manageable. Sessions are conversational and rooted in the person's goals and needs.
Background and approach
Her style blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and acceptance techniques. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and build skills to stay present during hard moments. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and patterns that repeat in relationships.
Kimberley aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored. She supports people through painful losses, chronic stress, and problems with communication or commitment. Practical tools and steady support are foregrounded in therapy.
People who come for help with caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, or divorce find focused attention on coping strategies. Sessions also address issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness in everyday language. Her approach is collaborative, paced to each person's needs, and intended to help them move toward a more balanced life.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and provides practical tools to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits. It works well for anxiety, grief reactions, and problems with control or avoidance. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and calm the body, which helps with ongoing stress and emotional overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try techniques, track what works, and adjust the plan so therapy fits the person's life and needs.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversations and exercises, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be a brief check-in or ongoing written work. These options let people access consistent support without extra travel and make it easier to fit sessions into daily routines.
