Kimberly Struck

Kimberly Struck is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes. She brings 26 years of professional experience and aims to create a respectful, sensitive place to talk about what is most troubling. Kimberly focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach starts with listening to each person’s story and priorities. Sessions are tailored to the concerns that matter most, whether that is trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, or caregiver stress. Kimberly uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to set small, achievable goals that build confidence over time.

She draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in the client’s own values and goals. Solution-focused techniques help identify concrete strategies for handling day-to-day problems. Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events are getting in the way of current life and need careful attention.

Kimberly describes herself as supportive and empowering; she helps people take the first steps toward change without judgment. Her background includes long-term practice in Maine and work across a range of concerns from workplace issues to intimacy-related struggles.

If someone wants clear tools and steady support for anger, parenting stress, or midlife shifts, Kimberly offers a collaborative space to work toward practical change. Prospective clients are encouraged to start with a short matching process to see if the fit feels right.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening carefully, and shaping sessions around what matters most. This helps people clarify goals and feel heard before moving to practical steps. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, realistic changes that make a difference day to day, such as new coping habits or simple behavior shifts to reduce anger and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past events affect current reactions and uses targeted steps to reduce their impact over time.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. The process is practical and paced to the individual's needs.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, support shorter check-ins during a workday, or remove travel time so more consistent care is possible. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches described above to the online setting to focus on problem solving, emotional processing, and skill building without assuming a particular session format.
