About Kimberly
Kimberly Struck is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience. She focuses on practical help for parents and adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make each session feel straightforward and useful.
Kimberly listens closely to what matters most to each person. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She also supports those facing workplace strain, caregiver fatigue, relationship tension, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are paced to fit the client’s needs, with conversations shaped around realistic goals. Kimberly uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and solution-focused techniques to build small, doable steps.
Trauma-focused work is used when past harm needs careful attention. Her style is simple and direct. She helps people sort priorities, practice new ways of coping, and try out different responses between sessions.
Parents can expect clear strategies for handling stress and balancing responsibilities. Kimberly tailors the plan to what the individual wants to change. She supports people through the early, uncertain steps and as they create longer-term routines.
The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes, and to leave clients with tools they can use day to day.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and perspective, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting what is most important in the moment. This approach helps people feel heard and helps shape practical next steps for daily life.Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on small, achievable changes. Sessions often include setting clear, brief goals and trying out new behaviors between meetings to build momentum for larger shifts in stress, parenting, or work-related challenges.
Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past harm with care and structure, using methods that slow the pace so people can process difficult memories while building coping skills for today.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a way forward. That plan can change as progress is made and new concerns emerge.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets clients send updates or questions between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep momentum between sessions.
