Kimara Runcie

Kimara Runcie is a licensed counselor with 12 years of professional experience. She holds LMHC licensure in New York and LCPC licensure in Maryland. Kimara focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and career concerns. Her work emphasizes practical steps and steady support during change.

Kimara aims to create an open and nonjudgmental space where people can talk about difficult feelings. She encourages small, achievable goals and clear strategies that fit daily life. Conversations often look at patterns that keep people stuck and then try different approaches to break those patterns.

She draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s priorities, and she uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work around attachment and intimacy concerns, while trauma-focused techniques address past hurt when it matters.

Kimara also brings solution-focused and coaching elements when a client wants concrete short-term change, like improving communication or planning a career step. Her style balances listening with offering tools clients can use between sessions. She helps people weigh options and choose what feels doable.

Work with Kimara is collaborative and paced by the client. People who want practical guidance, emotional processing, or both may find her approach useful. Sessions are offered in English and scheduled according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client's priorities and offering empathic listening. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to what matters most and adapt pacing to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills like thought records and behavior experiments that transfer well to online homework and session work. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift patterns in close relationships by tracking emotions and interaction cycles; it can be used to address attachment and intimacy issues in conversation-based sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and support consistent skill practice between meetings. It also allows sessions to focus on concrete tools, emotional processing, or both, so work can be tailored to daily life and career demands.
