About Kim

Kim Class is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 28 years of clinical experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and loss, intimacy concerns, career questions, addiction, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, and other life changes.

She has worked in both nonprofit and private agencies and continues to manage a private practice while serving in an administrative role at a local agency. Her background includes long-term clinical work across a range of settings and with varied diagnostic presentations.

In sessions she keeps the conversation focused and practical. She encourages people to name what feels difficult and to notice patterns that get in the way. She uses listening and questions to help people find clearer next steps and to build skills for daily life.

Therapeutic methods mentioned in her work include Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy. These approaches are used to address relationships, motivation for change, and the stories people tell about themselves.

She emphasizes collaboration about goals and methods rather than pushing a single approach. People are helped to identify immediate coping strategies as well as longer-term shifts in patterns and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Kim uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s experience and priorities, helping people talk through what matters and set goals that feel personal. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationships or attachment patterns are central, helping people notice and respond to emotions that shape connection. Motivational Interviewing is a practical way to clarify readiness for change and build small steps toward different behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change or specific problems come into focus.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions around work or school, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with her during the matching process about how you want sessions to fit into your week and what practical arrangements will help you engage.
