01About Kimara
Kimara Runcie brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice in Maryland. She holds MD, LCPC, and LMHC credentials and focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, nonjudgmental support. She creates a calm space where people can say what they need to say and start to figure out their next steps.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions often begin by identifying the most pressing problems and practical goals.
Background and approach
She uses talk-based work along with focused strategies to help manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. For relationship and intimacy concerns she helps people name patterns and try different ways of connecting. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and major life changes.
Topics like parenting strain, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and codependency are part of her practice. When trauma is present she uses focused techniques to reduce symptoms and rebuild daily coping skills. Kimara blends client-centered care with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods, emotionally-focused work, and solution-focused strategies.
That mix helps people move from feeling overwhelmed to having clearer options. She aims to make each session practical and directly useful. Sessions may use phone, video, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules.
People who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person seeking help. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead, clarify priorities, and support emotional processing through talk and feedback.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In video or phone sessions CBT tools like thought records, activity planning, and skill practice are introduced and reviewed together.
Trauma-focused therapy targets memories, triggers, and coping strategies related to past harm. Online formats allow for paced work, grounding techniques, and repeated check-ins while processing difficult material.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their style, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps therapy responsive and tailored to real needs.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging helps with ongoing reflections between sessions. Those options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy days.
