About Adrian
Adrian Kim is a licensed mental health counselor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical, helping each person talk through what feels most urgent right now. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at worried parents who need clear next steps.
Adrian creates a space where people can describe their situation without feeling judged.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps identify small changes that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on concrete skills and plans rather than lengthy theory. Her work draws on approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
She uses these tools to address mood, stress, and patterns in relationships in practical ways. Techniques might include skills for managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thinking, and building more helpful routines. Adrian has been practicing for 10 years and holds the LMHC credential, licensed in Indiana as IN LMHC 39003164A.
She offers sessions in English through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients are not accepted. Beginning therapy is a step-by-step process.
Adrian asks a few questions up front to match goals and then works with each person to set realistic, achievable steps. Her style is supportive and goal-focused, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning and emotional ease.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building trust. It involves listening closely and helping clients find their own solutions, which can be useful when parents or caregivers feel unsure about next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and shift everyday habits, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, handle urgent concerns between meetings, and continue work from home. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, coach through parenting challenges, and support steady progress over time.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
