About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship struggles, parenting pressures, grief, and addictions. Her practice also addresses intimacy-related issues and self-esteem challenges common in early adulthood.
She uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior tools, and mindfulness practice. In sessions she focuses on practical skills people can use day to day, clearer thinking patterns, and noticing how relationships shape feelings and behavior. That makes it easier to deal with things like impulsivity, control issues, or caregiving stress.
Clients may find she combines talk with concrete exercises and reading or audio resources when helpful. She has experience in private practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient settings. That variety informs how she helps people navigate role changes, school-to-work transitions, and family-related strain.
Her additional focus areas include attachment wounds, blended family issues, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency, divorce and separation, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work. She aims to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Practical concerns like managing anger, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue are part of her work. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how past and present relationships shape emotions and trust. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in friendships and romantic relationships and try new ways of relating.Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so the client leads the pace. In remote sessions this often means exploring goals aloud and choosing which areas to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean mixing attachment work with CBT exercises and mindfulness practice over several sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online meetings help fit therapy into study, work, or busy schedules because they cut commute time, make it easier to step out for a short check-in, or let someone use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. The focus is on practical ways to make sessions fit everyday life while working toward clear goals.
