About Kim
Kim Class is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 28 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. Her approach aims to make the first steps easier for worried parents and individuals alike.

Background and approach
Her background spans nonprofit and personal-agency work, and she continues to manage a independent practice while working as an administrator at a local agency. That mix gives her experience with a range of diagnostic impressions and real-world pressures people face.
Kim draws on several therapy styles to match each person's needs, including client-centered approaches and emotionally-focused methods that pay attention to attachment and feelings. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to help people clarify goals and reshape unhelpful stories about themselves.
Practical concerns such as caregiver stress, blended family issues, first responder strain, and coping after disasters are part of her focus areas. She also supports people dealing with mood disorders, addiction concerns, and identity issues such as LGBT-related stress. Kim aims to partner with clients to set realistic goals and steady progress.
Online approaches that focus on feelings and goals
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's experience and emphasizes genuine listening and empathy. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and decide what matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotional patterns and attachment needs; it can help people understand why certain relationship or intimacy issues keep repeating. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, goal-focused method that boosts motivation to change behaviors and works well for things like addiction or making life adjustments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process lets the plan evolve as the client gains insight and momentum.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make contact more flexible. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text is handy for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people fit sessions into busy schedules and different daily routines.
