About Kimara
Kimara Runcie is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of experience. She practices from Maryland and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting, and anger.
Kimara keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She encourages people to bring the problems that feel most urgent - whether that is snapping at loved ones, feeling overwhelmed at work, or long-standing resentment. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can change daily patterns.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger and emotional reactions. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide discussions about attachment and how emotions shape relationship struggles.
Kimara also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when they fit the situation. Those methods aim to clarify goals and build concrete skills for handling intense feelings, managing stress, and repairing communication breakdowns.
People who come to her often want practical strategies and a steady clinician who will help sort through feelings without judgment. She asks questions, listens, and suggests exercises to try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
She frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is useful for anger that comes from automatic thoughts, workplace stress, or persistent worry. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings and attachment patterns affect relationships and moments of conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize CBT skill work, emotion-focused conversation, or short solution-focused exercises.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus remains on practical tools to manage anger, improve communication, and build coping strategies that fit everyday life.
