Kimara Runcie

Kimara Runcie is a licensed counselor with 12 years of experience helping people navigate major life changes. She holds LCPC and LMHC credentials and practices in Maryland. She focuses on creating an open space where people can speak honestly about what they are facing.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. She listens first, then works with each person to set realistic goals. Sessions are aimed at practical steps people can try between meetings. She encourages small changes that add up over time.

Kimara uses several well-known methods, including client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on emotionally-focused and solution-focused approaches when they fit a person's needs. Trauma-focused methods are part of her toolkit for people recovering from difficult events.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with parenting strain, career shifts, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and more. Kimara pays attention to how past attachment or abandonment experiences affect current patterns.

Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual's comfort. She helps people identify small, achievable changes and then tracks progress together. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better daily functioning.

How Kimara’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings and make sense of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see if they make life easier; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and check in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is limited, or avoid travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support progress on grief, trauma recovery, coping with life changes, relationship concerns, and daily stress without promising a particular outcome.
