About Kimberley

Kimberley Croley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama. She draws on decades of counseling experience and six years as a licensed clinician to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on everyday thoughts and habits. Kimberley aims to create a calm space where people can talk about feelings without fear of judgment. She emphasizes practical steps and small changes that add up over time.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive behavioral techniques are applied to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to build present-moment awareness and ease reactivity.

Attachment-based and client-centered elements guide how she listens and responds, especially around relationship and attachment concerns. Kimberley also supports people dealing with complex issues like chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce, and loss.

People meet her to address immediate coping needs and to develop sustainable habits for everyday life. She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust plans as progress unfolds.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on changing how you relate to thoughts instead of trying to stop them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and break unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and day-to-day life. That choice can shift over time as needs and priorities change, and sessions are adjusted based on feedback and progress.

Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or a brief break at work to attend. It can also make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into discussion during sessions.
