About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama. She brings a long history in counseling alongside six years in licensed practice. Kimberley focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She aims to help people take the first steps toward feeling more steady and hopeful.
Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. Kimberley emphasizes listening first, then working with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She uses practical tools and everyday language so coping strategies are easier to try between sessions.
Her approach blends several therapies to fit the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness work encourages noticing the moment without getting swept away. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports living by personal values while tolerating hard emotions.
Kimberley also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are getting in the way. Client-centered therapy grounds the work in empathy and respect for each person’s pace. This mix is aimed at reducing stress and building skills to manage anxiety and life transitions.
She often helps people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, divorce, domestic violence aftermath, and feelings of guilt or shame. Kimberley invites people to begin with small changes and honest conversation, then build from there.

How Kimberley’s Approaches Fit Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for chronic anxiety, stress, or life transitions where avoiding feelings has become a problem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple attention skills to lessen reactivity and build calm in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kimberley treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods best match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. She usually blends techniques rather than sticking to a single method, so plans can change as needs do.
