Kimberly Struck , LCSW

Kimberly Struck is a Maine-based licensed clinician with 26 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions, trauma, and everyday stressors. She holds an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and draws on a long history of direct practice to help clients build confidence, improve relationships, and navigate grief. Kimberly approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Her work focuses on trauma and abuse, stress and anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and challenges related to self-esteem and motivation. She also supports parenting and family concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue, workplace difficulties, and the complex emotions surrounding divorce, guilt, and shame. Kimberly brings particular attention to post-traumatic stress, midlife concerns, women's issues, and grief, aiming to empower clients to find clearer direction and greater emotional balance.

Recognizing that seeking help takes courage, Kimberly centers partnership and empowerment in her practice. She collaborates with clients to identify goals, explore practical strategies, and cultivate strengths that support longer-term well-being and more fulfilling daily life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kimberly integrates client-centered therapy and trauma-focused work into her practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore their values and uncover solutions that fit their life. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on safely processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing emotional impact, which can help with post-traumatic stress, overwhelming memories, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process; Kimberly works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques and pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy with Kimberly can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic connection with licensed professionals and therapists.
