About Kimberly
Kimberly Rose is a licensed independent clinical social worker with thirty years of experience in mental health and social services. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, relationship problems, and ADHD. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at helping people manage daily life and rebuild routines.
She draws on several well-known therapy methods to meet people where they are. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and setting small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Kimberly helps people handle life changes like divorce, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiving stress, and career transitions. Her background includes decades working in family and youth engagement, child welfare policy, and program development. That experience informs how she supports parents, caregivers, and people dealing with blended family issues.
She also works with those coping with infertility, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and first responder stress. Kimberly often uses mindfulness, acceptance-based ideas, and problem-focused strategies in session. She helps people develop emotional regulation skills and practical plans to reduce overwhelm.
She also supports people with gender dysphoria, LGBT concerns, and women's issues in ways that respect each person's goals. Sessions may include coaching-style work for career and life purpose questions. She addresses sleeping problems, seasonal mood changes, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Kimberly offers guidance to people who want clearer communication and stronger relationships.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Kimberly commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match your values. It can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they adjust the focus over time, combining strategies like mindfulness or problem-solving as needed.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, weighing options during the day, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options support flexibility and consistent progress.
