Kimberlee VanBurch , LCSW

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families through periods of stress, loss, and transition. She takes a collaborative, person-centered approach that encourages clients to identify their goals and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Kim believes good mental health must be understood within cultural context, and she uses a strength-based, culturally sensitive lens to help people navigate conflict, relationship challenges, career questions, grief, and life changes.

Her work blends evidence-informed methods with an individualized plan that respects each person’s values and background. She guides clients through learning tools to manage symptoms, resolve core concerns, and pursue a more fulfilling daily life. As a licensed social worker, Kim brings clinical training and real-world experience to the therapeutic process, and she emphasizes partnership, empathy, and gradual progress.

Taking the first step toward change often feels difficult, and Kimberlee aims to support that transition with patience and practical strategies. She is accepting new clients and works with people across a range of issues including trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting and family dynamics, caregiving stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Kimberlee often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take meaningful action. ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility so people can live in line with what matters to them despite unwanted internal experiences, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, providing practical tools for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Her practice is collaborative - finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Kimberlee partners with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors interventions over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive ongoing support from licensed professionals without the need to travel.
