About Kim
Kim Class is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 28 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate relationship and intimacy concerns, and cope with grief, loss, and major life changes. Her background includes work in both nonprofit and private settings, and she also serves as an administrator at a local agency while keeping a private practice.
Kim takes a practical, person-focused approach. Sessions aim to make it easier to talk about hard feelings and to try small changes that make daily life better. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps set clear, achievable goals for therapy.
Her work draws on several counseling approaches that center the client’s experience and emotions. She uses client-centered listening to understand a person’s perspective, emotionally-focused ideas to address connection and intimacy, and motivational interviewing to support change. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people make sense of patterns in relationships and behavior.
People come to Kim for many concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including career strain, compassion fatigue, addiction-related issues, parenting stress, attachment and blended family challenges, and first responder stress. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored.
To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions based on availability. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps clarify values and goals, which can be helpful for stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and connection in close relationships, helping people identify and shift patterns that cause distance or conflict. Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes by exploring their own reasons and building motivation step by step.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed style. That process usually begins in early sessions and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during work breaks or between appointments. It can also let people manage sessions from quieter surroundings or choose a shorter phone or video meeting when that better suits their day. Licensed professionals can discuss which format best supports a client’s goals when arranging sessions.
