About Kimberly
Kimberly Struck is a Maine-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Her practice also includes concerns such as anger, relationship problems, parenting stresses, and workplace strain.
Kimberly uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try small, manageable changes. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping people handle day-to-day pressures more clearly.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete short-term goals and trauma-focused methods when past events are still causing current distress. These approaches are used to address problems like post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and midlife transitions.
Kimberly emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and adapts the way she talks and plans work to fit each person. She helps clients break down big issues into smaller steps and checks in on what is working. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People meet with her to work on parenting strain, communication problems, divorce and separation concerns, as well as questions about life purpose or guilt and shame. She conducts sessions in English and practices in Maine as an LCSW.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client says is most important, helping them clarify needs and priorities. This approach is useful when someone wants to be heard and to make personal decisions about change.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, concrete goals. Sessions often identify one or two practical steps to try between meetings. This method suits people who want quick, manageable shifts for issues like workplace stress, communication problems, or anger that shows up at home.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses how past events affect present feelings and behavior. It involves working through the impact of those events and developing skills to reduce their influence on daily life. This approach is applied when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a clear part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly will discuss your situation and preferences and collaborate to decide which methods to use. That decision can change over time as goals evolve and progress is made.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use these advantages to help clients maintain steady progress while balancing everyday responsibilities.
