Kimberlee VanBurch , LCSW

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through major life challenges. As an LCSW - a licensed mental health professional trained in clinical social work and psychotherapy - she combines clinical training with a strengths-based, culturally sensitive perspective to meet each person's unique needs.

She works collaboratively with people experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, ADHD, caregiver fatigue, chronic illness, career difficulties, and other life transitions. Kimberlee uses a person-centered, eclectic approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, client-centered methods, and mindfulness techniques, tailoring interventions to match each client's goals and background.

Kimberlee emphasizes the cultural context of mental health and seeks to acknowledge and incorporate clients' values, identities, and strengths into the therapeutic process. She aims to help people develop practical coping skills, resolve core concerns, and navigate change with greater resilience. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be difficult, and Kimberlee offers steady, compassionate support throughout that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Kimberlee VanBurch

Kimberlee integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address symptoms and life challenges in an accessible online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility - it can help people live more fully despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach often used for trauma-related distress and works by helping the brain process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work she does together with clients. Kimberlee collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques so the treatment fits the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Kimberlee offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of formats makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage ongoing commitments, and maintain continuity of care from different locations while working toward personal goals.
