Kimberley Croley, LICSW

Kimberley Croley is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of licensed practice in Alabama. She combines straightforward listening with practical strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and grief.

She emphasizes an open atmosphere where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on identifying small, doable steps that reduce overwhelm and support daily functioning. Kimberley supports people coping with life changes and losses, helping them make sense of painful experiences and find ways to move forward.

Her work draws on several approaches to meet different needs. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people tolerate strong emotions and clarify values that guide choices.

Attachment-based and client-centered elements shape how she builds trust and connection in sessions. Those tools are used to strengthen self-understanding and improve how people relate to others. Her style is collaborative and grounded in real-world goals.

Kimberley has longer experience in counseling outside her licensed years and brings that background into her work. She encourages small experiments between sessions so progress shows up in daily life. If someone is ready to begin, she helps set clear next steps for scheduling and starting care.

Approach-driven online therapy that fits daily life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take steps that match their personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making choices during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or avoidance. It often includes concrete exercises and homework between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current patterns and helps people build healthier ways of relating and trusting others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people try out coping strategies in their normal routines and then discuss what did or did not work in the next meeting.
