Kimberly Struck, LCSW

Kimberly Struck is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and low self-esteem. Her approach is respectful and compassionate, with attention to each person’s needs and goals.

She tailors conversations and plans to fit what matters most to each client. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on small, manageable steps. She works with people struggling with relationship strain, parenting stress, work pressure, and life transitions.

Kimberly draws on client-centered and solution-focused methods to identify strengths and build workable strategies. For trauma-related concerns she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and reactions in a paced way. The work aims to reduce distress and increase coping skills rather than promising specific outcomes.

Her practice also pays attention to caregiver stress and compassion fatigue, along with issues such as guilt, midlife questions, and workplace challenges. Kimberly emphasizes collaboration so people feel supported while testing new ways of handling problems.

Clients can expect a direct but gentle style that balances listening with practical suggestions. She encourages people to take small steps toward clearer priorities and better day-to-day functioning. The initial steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session based on availability.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s priorities first and involves active listening and gentle reflection. It helps people who need a space to make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals; it can help when you want short-term changes and tools to manage daily stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events through paced, targeted work that aims to reduce distress and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques that fit. Together they can adjust the plan over time to match what is helping and what feels workable in daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online work helpful because it makes it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduces travel time, and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions also let some people continue support when life changes make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting while keeping focus on practical coping and progress.
