About Kimara

Kimara Runcie brings twelve years of professional experience to her practice and holds MD, LCPC, and LMHC credentials.

Background and approach

She practices from Maryland while maintaining licensure in New York, and her background reflects long-term work helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and ADHD. Her listed practice areas also include caregiving stress, attachment and adoption-related challenges, bipolar disorder, and several other complex life difficulties.

Her approach centers on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and take practical steps toward change. She blends client-centered listening with evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral, emotionally-focused, solution-focused, and trauma-informed therapies to tailor support to each person’s needs.

Kimara frames therapy as a collaborative process that encourages growth, resilience, and clearer communication. Clients can expect a practitioner focused on empowerment and practical coping strategies, with attention to relationship dynamics and life transitions.

Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to accommodate different preferences and schedules, and administrative details such as fees and scheduling are handled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support



Kimara commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship to help clients feel heard and gain clarity about their values and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaching practical skills to manage anxiety, mood, and behavior changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, and then tailors techniques so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented while honoring the client’s pace and experience.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and for matching communication styles. These options can make it easier to access consistent care from Maryland and allow clients to continue work during life transitions or when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to support skill-building, emotional processing, and problem-solving across a range of concerns.
