Kimberley Croley, LICSW

Kimberley Croley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Alabama. She brings 6 years of licensed clinical experience and a long history in counseling to sessions. Kimberley focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly about difficult feelings.

Kimberley helps people work through the practical problems that follow painful events. She listens for patterns in how someone reacts to stress and uses that information to suggest small, usable changes. Conversations often include exploring values, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and learning calming practices. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and mindfulness practices. Those tools are used to address concerns like attachment wounds, communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and difficult transitions such as divorce or aging. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and issues around abandonment.

People who come to Kimberley typically want clear, practical steps alongside space to process emotions. She frames change as a series of manageable steps rather than one big leap. Over time the goal is to help clients rebuild trust in themselves and make choices that align with what matters to them.

How Kimberley’s approach translates to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps with stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes by shifting the emphasis from fighting feelings to living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, worry, and problem-solving around relationships and daily stressors.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberley will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed so the work matches what you want to achieve.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter or more focused check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let you practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into conversation during sessions.
