Kimberlee VanBurch, LCSW

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Kimberlee also supports clients facing life changes, parenting strain, career questions, and concerns related to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She practices in a collaborative, person-centered way. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client and build steps toward those goals. She uses practical tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Kimberlee draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, EMDR, and client-centered work. She blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone. That lets her focus on skills, values, and coping strategies that fit real life.

Over her 15 years of practice she has worked with a wide range of concerns, including family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and first responder issues. She emphasizes cultural context and a strength-based stance when helping people navigate conflict and change.

Her style is direct but warm. Kimberlee helps clients learn manageable techniques and plans they can use between sessions. She encourages small steps, steady progress, and practical problem solving tailored to each person’s situation.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Kimberlee often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and everyday stressors.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions toward them. ACT is useful when someone wants to live a more meaningful life despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberlee will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then mix techniques that fit the situation. She works with people to set short-term steps and tools they can practice between sessions.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to update progress, get brief coaching, and maintain momentum between longer sessions, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied routines.
