About Kimberly
Kimberly Finnie is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in ME and NJ with 22 years of counseling experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage symptoms and handle everyday pressures.
Her approach centers on clear communication and steady guidance. She helps clients name the problems that feel biggest and then breaks them into manageable tasks. Conversations include skills for coping with overwhelming feelings, practical ways to improve communication, and hands-on ideas for getting through difficult changes.
Kimberly pays attention to how past family patterns affect current relationships. She supports people sorting blended family dynamics, family of origin issues, and problems that come up around separation or divorce. Work-related stress and mood concerns such as seasonal affective disorder are also within her focus.
She addresses dissociation, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and issues many women raise in therapy. Sessions look at values and life purpose as part of improving daily functioning. Practical strategies for self-acceptance and managing symptoms are common topics.
Kimberly accepts international clients and offers services in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
BHow sessions work
How Kimberly uses evidence-based methods in online sessions
Two common evidence-based techniques she employs are skills-based coping work and trauma-focused care. Skills-based coping work teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and day-to-day stress. Clients practice breathing, grounding, activity planning, and communication skills to reduce symptom intensity and improve functioning. Trauma-focused care involves stabilizing symptoms, tracking triggers, and building tolerance for difficult memories or sensations. This work often combines paced storytelling with strategies to manage dissociation and strong emotions so people can process traumatic experiences at a manageable pace. Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Kimberly will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their situation. She reviews what helps and adjusts plans over time rather than expecting one method to solve everything. Confirm the session formats before booking since details are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. Ask about available session lengths and how the subscription billing works when you schedule the first appointment.CAreas of focus
