About Kimberly
Kimberly Struck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, and anger. Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at helping people manage feelings that interfere with daily life.
She uses conversation and proven therapeutic techniques to help people identify unhelpful patterns. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and coping skills that can be used between meetings. Kimberly adapts what she does to each person's situation rather than following one fixed method.
Her work includes helping people through major life changes, separation or divorce, caregiver strain, workplace stress, and relationship problems. She also addresses intimacy concerns, guilt and shame, and issues that affect women in midlife. Trauma and post-traumatic stress are part of her practice, and she brings approaches that focus on safety and gradual progress.
Kimberly draws from client-centered and solution-focused methods alongside trauma-focused work. That mix supports short-term problem solving as well as longer-term healing. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with attention to building confidence and practical coping strategies.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with emotions that feel overwhelming. She asks about daily routines and stressors, then works with clients to create manageable steps forward. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping people clarify what matters and what they want to change. This approach is useful when someone needs a respectful, steady space to sort through strong feelings.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and measurable goals. It helps when someone wants to reduce anger at work or home with specific strategies and short-term plans. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to safety, pacing, and processing of difficult memories, and it can support recovery from abuse or other traumatic events.
Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize short-term problem solving, deeper trauma work, or a mix of methods.
Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or a busy week and may allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the session formats offered and discuss what will work best for scheduling and comfort.
