About Kimberly

Kimberly Rose is a LICSW with three decades of clinical experience rooted in family and youth engagement, child welfare policy, and program development.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and other challenges such as compassion fatigue and career transitions. She brings particular attention to grief and loss, including pet loss, and supports development of coping skills to adjust to unpredictable life events.

Her therapeutic approach blends evidence-based strategies with a warm, client-focused stance. Kimberly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and client-centered methods to help clients build emotional regulation, communication skills, and resilience.

Over a long career she has worked with adolescents, young adults, families, couples, and caregivers in a variety of settings and now provides counseling that emphasizes practical tools alongside emotional processing.

Located in Massachusetts, she combines clinical depth with a collaborative, strengths-oriented style that aims to meet each person where they are and support steady progress toward clearer priorities, healthier relationships, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thinking and reconnect with personal values so they can take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to distress, offering concrete tools for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and emotional regulation through practical exercises that complement other approaches and support coping with grief and compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process rather than a single decision. Kimberly works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences and then adapts techniques from these models to fit each person’s situation, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these methods through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care across locations, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor exercises and interventions to the client’s daily life and routines.
