About Kimberly
Kimberly Rose is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 30 years of experience based in Massachusetts. She works with young adults and others on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes, along with relationship and family concerns. Kimberly also supports people facing parenting challenges, career uncertainty, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She draws on multiple practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and build day-to-day skills. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, skills practice, and short-term strategies that can be used between meetings. Kimberly also offers space to process deeper losses such as bereavement and pet loss while developing coping tools.
Her style is straightforward and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people try methods that fit their situation. Techniques can include values-focused work, thinking-and-behavior exercises, mindfulness practices, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches.
Kimberly’s background includes long-term work in family and youth engagement and child welfare policy and program development. That experience informs practical help around communication, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress.
Sessions are suited to people navigating life transitions like leaving home, starting work, or returning to study. Kimberly also addresses fertility and end-of-life concerns, first responder stress, gender dysphoria, and seasonal mood shifts. She works in English and accepts international clients who meet the practice criteria.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match what matters to them. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and issues around life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and building practical coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will help clients and therapists decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed.
