About Kimberley
Kimberley Croley is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama. She brings six years of clinical licensure experience and a long history in counseling to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and grief. She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns that show up in relationships.
Kimberley pairs that perspective with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on noticing how thoughts and actions affect daily life.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and client-centered. She creates space for people to talk about hard feelings without judgment. Conversations are paced to match each person’s comfort and goals, and clients are encouraged to set small, achievable steps toward change.
Kimberley has worked with many concerns beyond the headline issues, including abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication problems. She also offers support for major life changes such as divorce, bereavement, and coping after disasters. People who choose her can expect a collaborative approach that combines acceptance and commitment ideas, practical behavior-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices.
The aim is to help people feel more able to manage stress, repair relationships where possible, and live in line with their values.

Online support
How attachment and action-focused therapies work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how people connect and respond to stress. In sessions Kimberley helps clients notice those patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions even when hard feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, grief, and making life changes that matter. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and make their own choices about next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberley collaborates with each person to identify what fits their goals, needs, and comfort. She may draw on attachment ideas, ACT, mindfulness, or cognitive-behavioral techniques and will adjust the mix as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversational work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or people who need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
