Kimberly Finnie, LCSW

Kimberly Finnie brings 22 years of counseling experience to her work, supporting adults through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life transitions. She is licensed as an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which indicates specialized training and clinical experience in mental health care. Licensed in both Maine and New Jersey, she draws on a long history of practice to help clients navigate complex emotional and interpersonal issues.

Kimberly focuses on practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to each person, while also attending to the emotional impact of family dynamics, blended family concerns, dissociation, and mood disorders. Her practice addresses areas such as communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, self-love, social anxiety, women's issues, and workplace difficulties.

She aims to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can share thoughts and feelings honestly. Kimberly understands that beginning therapy takes courage, and she is committed to offering steady support and encouragement as people work toward clearer coping skills, healthier relationships, and a more satisfying life.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Online

Kimberly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on building practical skills and addressing the root of distress. One approach emphasizes skills-based work such as stress management, coping strategies, and mood regulation to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another strand of her work is trauma-focused, helping clients process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact through structured, supportive interventions. She also attends to relationship and communication patterns to help clients navigate family dynamics, blended family issues, and partnership conflicts.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the therapy journey. Kimberly collaborates with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so treatment feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Kimberly offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules or across locations. These options support consistent access to a licensed professional and allow therapy to continue when in-person visits are difficult, while maintaining a focus on effective, evidence-based care.
