Kimara Runcie, LCPC, LMHC

Kimara Runcie is a licensed clinician with 12 years of experience. She holds a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) credential and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. Kimara aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name difficult feelings and begin making changes.

She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns including intimacy and communication issues. She also helps with parenting stresses, career strain, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and adjustment to life changes. Jealousy is one of the relationship-related issues she lists among her focus areas.

Kimara draws from several practical approaches, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens first, then works with people to set clear, manageable goals and steps toward them. The style is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than prescriptive.

She also works with people facing abandonment and attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control problems. Trauma-related issues such as dissociation and effects of abuse are included in her practice.

Kimara practices from Maryland and offers services in English. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them feel understood and to clarify goals. It suits concerns like grief, stress, and relationship confusion by making room to name feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It uses practical skills and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and express underlying emotions that shape relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for improving communication and addressing jealousy or attachment worries.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Kimara will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice may change over time as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make shorter check-ins easier to arrange. Online work can also make it simpler to continue care through life changes while focusing on real-world steps between sessions.
