About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and grief. She draws on many years of counseling experience to support people facing difficult life changes. Kimberley aims to make the first steps toward change feel achievable and grounded in everyday life.
She uses practical, person-focused methods to help people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Sessions emphasize clear conversation, emotional awareness, and learning skills that can be used between appointments. Kimberley works to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about honestly.
Her background includes work across a range of concerns such as attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and divorce or separation. She brings experience helping people cope with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and loss. Her approach blends acceptance, mindful awareness, and structured techniques to address thought patterns and behavior.
With six years of licensed clinical experience and a long history in counseling, Kimberley tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She encourages collaboration on goals and practical steps that fit everyday routines. People who reach out can expect straightforward guidance, active listening, and steady support as they work through change.
To begin, Kimberley asks people to identify what they most want to change and what matters most to them. From there she helps build a plan that balances short-term coping with longer-term goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, stress, and coping through life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and shift how they relate to others, which is useful for relationship strain, codependency, and fears of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people choose remote work because it can fit into a busy day, avoid travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or work that focuses on skills practice between meetings. Ask about specific session formats and scheduling when you start the matching questionnaire to find what will work best for your routine.
