About Kim

Kim Class is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 28 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief and loss, and address relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Her background includes work in nonprofit and private agencies, and she currently combines administrative work at a local agency with a private practice.

Kim uses an approachable, client-centered way of working. She focuses on feelings and attachment patterns that shape how people relate. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the approaches she uses when relationship patterns and strong emotions are central to the work.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and find motivation for change. Narrative therapy and psychodynamic ideas inform how she helps people make sense of past experiences that still affect day-to-day life.

Sessions emphasize open conversation about thoughts and feelings without judgment. Kim aims to help clients name emotions and notice recurring patterns that get in the way of connections or wellbeing.

If a first session is needed, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session using the online options. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.

How Kim applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is focused on identifying and working with strong emotions and attachment patterns that shape relationships. In a session this looks like naming feelings, tracking interaction cycles, and gently helping people try new responses when old patterns repeat.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's perspective. The therapist follows and reflects what the client brings, helping clarify values and feelings without imposing direction. Motivational Interviewing is practical and goal-focused; it helps people resolve doubts about change and find internal reasons to move forward.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to draw on. That plan can shift as the work progresses to better fit what helps most.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Licensed professionals can also use different formats to match energy levels and technology needs, such as sessions that do not require video for every meeting.
