Kimberley Croley, LICSW

Kimberley Croley is an Alabama LICSW with six years of professional clinical experience and a total of 24 years working in counseling. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Kimberley works with adults who often put others first and struggle to set boundaries or cope when relationships become painful.

She uses familiar, practical methods in sessions rather than technical language. Kimberley draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. Kimberley listens for patterns around people-pleasing, control, and codependency, and helps clients name those patterns. She teaches simple strategies for managing anxiety, building clearer communication, and responding to grief or loss.

Her work often includes mindfulness exercises to slow down intense reactions and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and next steps. Kimberley encourages practical experiments - brief activities to test new ways of responding outside of sessions. These experiments are planned collaboratively and reviewed together.

People working with her can expect straightforward conversation and concrete tools to practice between meetings. The focus is on improving day-to-day functioning, setting boundaries when needed, and increasing confidence in making choices that feel right.
