About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to feel better. Her style aims to be straightforward and supportive for those coping with grief, parenting strain, relationship tension, or chronic health concerns.
With about 15 years of clinical experience, Kimberlee uses a person-centered, strength-based approach. She pays attention to each person’s cultural background and life story when shaping sessions. This means therapy focuses on what matters most to the individual rather than one fixed method.
She draws from a few different methods to build a plan that fits each person. That can include techniques to manage uncomfortable thoughts, ways to handle strong emotions, and mindful practices to reduce reactivity. The work often looks like setting small goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and talking through painful memories or patterns.
Kimberlee also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and challenges connected to family of origin and blended families. She helps people clarify priorities and rebuild routines when life feels disrupted.
Starting therapy with Kimberlee involves a collaborative process. She helps clients set clear goals and adjusts the approach as progress is made. People who want a practical, culturally aware therapist often find this method useful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports identifying personal values to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.Kimberlee also uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. She listens for what matters to each person and builds tools together. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work, and she collaborates with clients to choose what fits their goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and lets them practice skills between sessions in real life. Online sessions can allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight, or for focused work without travel time. The therapist will discuss practical session arrangements and how to make therapy work within your everyday routine.
