About Kimberlee
Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people manage anger, anxiety, stress, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her style is collaborative and person-centered, so clients set goals and move at a comfortable pace.
Kimberlee draws on 15 years of experience to help people build coping skills and solve persistent problems. She pays attention to culture and life context when talking about challenges.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and strengths-focused, with skills practice between meetings when useful. Her background includes work with trauma, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and workplace compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with family conflict, life transitions, sleep problems, and questions about identity and purpose.
Kimberlee uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Therapeutic methods she commonly uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and committed actions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and EMDR for trauma-related work when appropriate. Mindfulness and client-centered techniques are woven into sessions to promote self-awareness and practical change.
People who choose Kimberlee can expect clear goals, regular feedback, and chance to practice new skills between sessions. She encourages honest conversation and gradual steps toward better daily functioning and calmer responses to stressors.

How Kimberlee’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on actions and simple exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories when it fits a person's goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberlee will discuss options and help choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to change so therapy stays practical and focused.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or other routines while working on anger, stress, trauma, or life transitions.
