About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is an Alabama LICSW with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma or abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. Kimberley also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control problems, and feelings of guilt and shame.
She uses practical talk and structured approaches to help people sort through what matters most to them. Sessions draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered way of working. That means she helps people notice thoughts and emotions, test what helps, and try different responses over time.
Kimberley has a long background in counseling across several roles before her clinical years. She aims to listen without judgment and to help people name what they are carrying. Conversations tend to focus on steps a person can take between sessions and small shifts that reduce day-to-day strain.
When grief, trauma, or relationship problems feel overwhelming she works with clients to break problems into manageable pieces. This can include skills for handling anxiety, ways to respond to old attachment patterns, and grounding methods drawn from mindfulness. She uses practical exercises as part of the work.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her practice in Alabama. If someone is exploring therapy, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin defining goals and next steps.
How Kimberley uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It focuses on taking committed actions aligned with values even when uncomfortable feelings are present and is useful for anxiety, guilt, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build different responses to stress and relationship patterns.
Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce automatic reactions. Short grounding and breathing exercises are often included to help manage overwhelm between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley will collaborate with each person to figure out which combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one method briefly and adjusting based on how the person responds.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example, a shorter check-in during a break, not needing to travel, or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so therapy integrates with everyday routines.
