About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama. She brings six years of licensed clinical experience and a total of 24 years working in counseling to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about their thoughts and feelings.
Kimberley focuses on practical steps that people can take right away. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and shift toward more meaningful actions. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each persons needs.
Her wider areas of attention include attachment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people coping with abandonment, aging questions, forgiveness, and the fallout from disasters or domestic violence.
In a session she listens first, then helps set clear, manageable goals. Expect straightforward conversation, concrete tools, and moments that focus on rebuilding daily routines and coping skills. Kimberley encourages small changes that add up over time.
People who seek her help often want steady support through difficult transitions and losses. She describes therapy as a partnership where the clients values guide decisions and progress is measured by real-life shifts in behavior and coping.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, mood shifts, and coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, with the therapist offering empathy, active listening, and support to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberley will work together with each person to choose which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new challenges appear. The emphasis is on collaboration and practical steps that feel doable in daily life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness or behavioral exercises between meetings, so tools learned in sessions get practiced during the week.
