About Kimberley

Kimberley Croley is an Alabama LICSW with six years of professional clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. Kimberley speaks English and works from Alabama.

She uses practical approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady skills practice rather than vague ideas. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and mindfulness to guide conversations and exercises.

Kimberley spends time mapping what causes distress and which reactions keep problems going. She supports people in learning specific skills for communication, emotion regulation, and managing intrusive thoughts. Homework between sessions is common so new habits can form in everyday life.

When relationship issues come up, she helps people identify patterns around commitment, communication, codependency, and attachment. For grief and loss, sessions attend to practical coping steps and the feelings that follow separation. For trauma and abuse, the work moves at a steady pace and emphasizes safety and control over the process.

People with chronic illness, caregiver stress, aging concerns, or life transitions are offered concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning. Kimberley helps with guilt, shame, forgiveness work, and navigating divorce or separation. She encourages clear steps, monitoring progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.

How Kimberley uses CBT, ACT and attachment work online

Kimberley often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and test new responses. CBT sessions focus on specific problems, short exercises, and practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, or unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking action toward goals. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication, which can be useful for relationship or trust concerns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kimberley will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That approach can be adjusted as progress is tracked and priorities change.

The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule check-ins, practice skills between responsibilities, and use brief sessions or longer visits depending on what fits a person’s routine. Kimberley helps plan homework and exercises that can be practiced where people live and work.
