Kimberly Struck, LCSW - Therapist in Maine

About Kimberly

Kimberly Struck is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine with 26 years of practice. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and loss. Her tone is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to meet clients where they are.

She often helps people build confidence and motivation after difficult life events. She talks through grief, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional fallout of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

She also addresses relationship tensions and the strain that caregiving or workplace stress can cause. Kimberly adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. She keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented while staying compassionate.

That practical style supports people who want clear steps and emotional understanding. Her background spans many settings over more than two decades. That experience informs how she balances empathy with problem solving.

Clients can expect a steady, experienced guide when they face life transitions, midlife questions, or changes in family roles. The practice includes attention to parenting and family-related concerns alongside individual issues. Kimberly emphasizes partnering with clients so they feel empowered to make changes.

She encourages small, manageable steps toward better functioning and clearer priorities.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's unique needs. In online sessions this means the therapist follows your concerns and helps you set goals that feel meaningful. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and clear goals to build momentum; it is helpful for parents or caregivers who want focused strategies that can be tried between sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to process past harm and reduce its hold on daily life through paced, evidence-informed techniques that aim to increase safety and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work together with you to decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and comfort level. That shared planning helps shape the pace and focus of online work so it matches your situation.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote access. These formats let people keep continuity of care during life transitions and use different ways of communicating depending on what feels most useful. In short, online options make it easier to get steady, goal-oriented support from a licensed professional without changing the therapeutic intent.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Work that takes difficult past experience into account and moves at a pace you set, with attention to feeling steady before anything else. Being in your own space can make that easier for some people.
