About Kimberley

Kimberley Croley is an Alabama LICSW with six years of professional practice. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Her experience also covers concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and problems with communication and commitment.

Kimberley prefers clear, practical conversations. She listens for what matters most and helps people name what feels stuck. Sessions focus on small, repeatable steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to help people build clearer choices rather than rely on hope alone.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered methods, and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to look at thoughts, patterns, and actions in everyday life. She uses these approaches to address relationship patterns, painful memories, and decisions after change.

Over her career she has worked with people facing divorce and separation, domestic violence, caregiving burdens, aging concerns, and grief from loss. She also addresses guilt, shame, control issues, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters. Conversations cover both immediate coping and longer-term adjustments.

Kimberley conducts sessions in English and practices in Alabama. To start, readers should confirm current session options and the scheduling steps before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than get stuck in difficult thinking. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear skills to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, low mood, and problem-solving in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kimberley will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, behavioral experiments, and value-driven planning in everyday settings that matter to them.
