Kimberlee VanBurch

Kimberlee VanBurch is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey who helps people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and life transitions. She supports clients facing trauma, depression, anger, parenting strains, and career concerns. Kimberlee takes a practical approach and talks with each person about what they want to change. Her style is direct and warm, with an emphasis on small, usable steps.

With 15 years of experience, she draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving daily routines that affect sleep and mood, and resolving the core problems that interfere with functioning. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and client-centered listening to shape the work.

Kimberlee views mental health through a cultural lens and uses a strength-based approach. She pays attention to the role of family of origin, caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, and work-life pressures. That perspective often guides practical problem solving around parenting, first responder stress, abandonment wounds, and caregiving demands.

When trauma is part of the picture, Kimberlee can include approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing within a paced plan. She also helps people with ADHD-related challenges, chronic illness stress, and feelings of isolation or life-purpose questions.

Her process is collaborative: she partners with each person to set goals and track progress. People should expect clear discussion of options, homework-style practice between sessions, and regular review of what is or isn’t working.
