About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 15 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, low self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, codependency, ADHD, and related life changes.
She takes a person-centered approach and works collaboratively with each client. Sessions focus on building practical coping skills, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and finding small changes that make daily life easier. Kimberlee uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms and make clearer choices.
Her work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to help people clarify values and move toward meaningful action. For clients who have experienced trauma, she includes EMDR techniques when appropriate to address intense memories and reactions. She blends these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment.
Kimberlee pays attention to culture and family background when talking about problems. She frames strengths and past survival strategies as resources to build on, while gently testing new ways of coping. Sessions are practical and focused on goals that matter in everyday life.
To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. Anyone considering work with her should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing what matters most and taking small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, depression, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, useful for stress, low mood, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and reactions; it involves guided processing of distressing memories and is often paired with other coping techniques.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kimberlee will discuss goals, preferences, and practical needs with each client and suggest approaches that fit. Clients and therapist check in as work progresses and adjust methods when something isn’t helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, and sessions that do not require video can reduce bandwidth needs. The therapist will help plan a session rhythm that fits everyday demands while focusing on skills and steps that translate to daily life.
