About Kimberly

Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana. She brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and parenting challenges.

She listens carefully, offers clear feedback, and uses tools that clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

Dr. Sullivan blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at close relationships and patterns that started long ago.

She also uses client-centered methods to build trust and collaboration, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Common concerns she addresses include relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, body image, caregiver burnout, and problems connected to family of origin. She also works with issues like impulsivity, eating and food-related struggles, and coping with chronic illness or disability.

Sessions may include practical skill work, mindfulness practice, and problem-focused plans the client can use at home. Dr. Sullivan uses resources such as readings and audio materials when helpful.

Her goal is to support steady progress while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online work can use that framework to identify interaction patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, encouraging empathy and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it pairs well with online homework and brief practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will talk with the person about what feels most useful and try different strategies when needed. Together they set goals, track progress, and adjust the plan based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexible scheduling and reduced travel time. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people choose how they want to connect. These formats make it easier to fit regular care into busy family and work routines while keeping the focus on skill-building and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
