About Kimara
Kimara Runcie is a clinician with 12 years of practice who supports people facing anxiety and related concerns. She holds an MD and the LCPC and LMHC credentials. Kimara works from Maryland and speaks English.
She creates a calm space where people can name worries and talk through hard feelings. Sessions are meant to feel open and nonjudgmental. The aim is practical progress rather than labels or long lectures.
Kimara draws on several approaches to shape each session.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered listening to learn what matters to the person in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify thought patterns and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. When trauma or relationship pain is part of the picture, she brings trauma-focused and emotionally-focused methods to address painful memories and improve emotional connection.
Solution-focused ideas are used to set short-term, achievable goals and track small wins. Her background includes work across stress, grief, depression, parenting concerns, ADHD, and many relationship and life-transition issues. Kimara focuses on what a person needs now and adapts tools to fit each situation.
People who want conversational, goal-oriented therapy tend to do well with her style. She helps set clear steps, practices new skills in session, and discusses ways to apply them between meetings. The process is collaborative and paced to each person's comfort.
Approach and online care that fit your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want from therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses small experiments to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses painful memories and their ongoing effects by working at a pace the person can manage and building coping skills to reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process may combine methods and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick ways to touch base, practice skills, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
