Kimberlee VanBurch, LCSW - Therapist in New Jersey

About Kimberlee

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and works with people to build practical coping skills.

Kimberlee emphasizes a respectful, person-centered style and partners with clients to set realistic goals and make steady changes. Her work is straightforward and strengths-based. She listens first, then helps clients notice habits that keep problems going.

Background and approach

Sessions often include clear strategies for managing stress, sleep problems, anger, and work-life balance. Mindfulness and acceptance skills are used alongside cognitive tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns. For people affected by traumatic events Kimberlee uses EMDR and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate.

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - to help clients clarify values and take manageable actions. Motivational interviewing may be used to support change when people feel stuck. Kimberlee values cultural context and tries to understand each person’s background.

That approach shows up in how she explores family issues, caregiver stress, blended family concerns, and life transitions. She aims to create a steady, practical plan for moving forward. Her practice includes coaching around career and purpose, support for compassion fatigue and first responder stress, and help with communication and codependency patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her focus on usable skills and clear next steps.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching acceptance and practical action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with depression, sleep issues, anger, and low self-esteem by giving clear skill-based exercises.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberlee collaborates with each client to decide whether ACT, CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or a mix will best match goals and comfort level. She reviews options, tries techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to attend from home, manage follow-up between sessions, and choose a pace that feels comfortable. The flexibility supports consistent progress while keeping therapy practical for busy family lives.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
