About Kimberly

Kimberly Rose is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) with 30 years of experience. She focuses on grief and loss, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. People come to her when they need steady support after loss or when life shifts feel overwhelming.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That can mean learning new ways to manage anxious thoughts, building small habits that improve sleep and mood, or practicing communication skills to ease relationship strain. She also helps people facing compassion fatigue and caregiver stress find better balance.

Her background includes long work in family and youth engagement, child welfare policy, and program development. Kimberly has spent much of her career supporting adolescents, young adults, caregivers, and people navigating transitions. More recently she has concentrated on individual counseling for grief and loss, including pet loss.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and client-centered work. Those methods are used to teach coping skills, create clearer values-based goals, and reduce overwhelming emotions. The style is collaborative and paced to the person's needs.

People who meet with Kimberly can expect a calm, practical focus on skills and problems that matter day to day. She supports goal-setting, problem solving, and small steps that add up to real change over time.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small committed actions toward those values. It can help people who feel stuck by shifting attention from avoiding painful thoughts to building a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then use one or more methods that fit. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted over time to suit changing needs.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or choosing a session that doesn't require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use ACT and CBT tools effectively via remote sessions, teaching skills, guiding mindfulness practice, and supporting grief work without needing in-person meetings.
