About Kimberly
Kimberly Rose is a licensed independent clinical social worker with thirty years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain, and relationship struggles. Her work also covers trauma, ADHD, career concerns, and challenges tied to adoption and blended families.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. Kimberly listens first, then helps set clear, practical goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities, and brings in tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches when they fit.
Her background includes extensive work in family and youth engagement and child welfare policy. That experience shaped how she supports adolescents, young adults, caregivers, and parents through communication and relationship coaching. More recently, Kimberly has focused on grief and loss counseling, including support for pet loss.
In therapy she teaches concrete coping skills for anxiety and grief. She often uses short exercises people can practice between sessions. She also works on improving social skills, building self-esteem, and managing life transitions like divorce or career changes.
Kimberly aims to make therapy practical and approachable. She helps people sort priorities, try realistic strategies, and adjust plans when life changes. Her style is collaborative and steady, with an emphasis on helping people regain a sense of direction and everyday coping skills.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice that means sessions start with what matters most to the client, and the therapist responds with empathy and support to help people find their own solutions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based action so clients can move toward meaningful goals while managing uncomfortable emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberly will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust strategies over time as needed.
The therapist biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people try exercises and mindfulness practices in their daily environment, which can help generalize skills between meetings.
