About Kimberly
Kimberly Struck is a Maine licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are carrying stress at home and at work, and with people coping with grief, trauma, anxiety, and parenting concerns.
She helps people talk through immediate problems and set small, concrete goals. That can mean short-term problem solving or ongoing work on self-esteem and motivation. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
Kimberly draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's priorities in front. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify steps that can be tried between sessions. For trauma-related concerns she incorporates trauma-focused approaches aimed at reducing the impact of past events on daily life.
Sessions tend to look like a mix of active listening, gentle challenge, and planning. Clients often work on communication skills, managing anger, setting boundaries, or coping strategies for stress and compassion fatigue. She also addresses caregiving strain, workplace difficulties, and issues that arise during divorce or separation.
Her language for the work is straightforward. She explains options, helps weigh choices, and adjusts the plan as needs change. People who want clear next steps and steady support at home or during life transitions may find this approach useful.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, clarifies priorities, and helps a person set workable goals for daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and experiments. It helps when someone wants fast, concrete changes like improving communication or reducing stress in specific situations. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past harmful events and offers techniques meant to reduce intrusive reactions and improve coping.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. That process is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or circumstances change.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking as they are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work breaks, or travel. Sessions can allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for more focused problem-solving when that is the goal. Licensed professionals typically adapt pacing, homework, and check-ins so therapy fits into everyday life.
