About Kimberly
Kimberly Finnie helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She works with individuals facing stress, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes. Kimberly presents a calm, straightforward style that aims to make starting therapy easier for worried parents and busy adults.
She has 22 years of counseling experience and holds LCSW licensure in Maine and New Jersey. Kimberly uses practical conversation and focused strategies to help people name their struggles and set small, realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are lived at a human pace, with time to sort feelings and try new ways of coping. Her work often focuses on blended family issues, communication breakdowns, dissociation, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame, life purpose questions, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder.
Workplace stress and social anxiety are part of the everyday problems she addresses. Kimberly aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space so clients can talk honestly. She balances practical tools with listening and reflection.
Progress is built one step at a time, with attention to what fits each person’s life. Clients can expect clear, direct conversations about goals and options. Kimberly encourages small experiments between sessions to test new approaches.
Over time those small steps add up to real change.
Evidence-based approaches and how they fit online
Kimberly uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and steady change. One common approach emphasizes practical coping skills and problem-solving to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This method teaches specific tools you can use between sessions to handle panic, worry, and daily pressures.Another frequently used approach focuses on processing trauma and post-traumatic stress in gradual steps. It helps people make sense of painful memories, reduce their intensity, and regain control over daily life. A third direction centers on improving communication and relationship patterns so people can set boundaries and repair damaged connections when possible.
Choosing which approach to try is a collaborative process. Kimberly will discuss what matters most to the client, try options, and adjust based on progress and preference. Together the therapist and client pick methods that match goals and life circumstances rather than assuming a single path.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging lets someone check in between sessions or use shorter updates. These formats increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent over time.
