About Kimberly
Kimberly Rose is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, with 30 years of practice in Massachusetts. She has long experience in family and youth engagement, child welfare policy, and program development. Her work includes grief and loss recovery, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationship strain, and support for LGBT people and adoption or foster care issues.
Kimberly has spent much of her career around adolescents, transitional-age young adults, caregivers, and parents. She helps people talk through relationship conflict and practice clearer communication. Lately she has focused on one-to-one counseling that centers grief work, including pet loss, and building coping skills for life changes.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose values-based actions. Mindfulness practices and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Sessions often focus on practical skills - breaking big problems into manageable steps. She works with people on self-esteem, sleep struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses blended family issues, fertility and caregiver stress when those are part of someone’s story.
Kimberly accepts international clients and conducts work in English. She expects to coordinate with each person about goals and next steps, and asks readers to confirm current session options before booking.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes because it focuses on small, values-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, sleep issues, and depression.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust techniques over time rather than committing to one way from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral homework in the places they live and parent, which helps practice stick. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to video or phone interactions, and they can offer mindfulness and DBT skill coaching that translates to everyday routines.
