About Adrienne
Dr. Adrienne Whitt is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, mood concerns, life transitions, and family conflicts. She also helps people facing compassion fatigue and burnout in professional roles.
Her work includes attention to family of origin issues, attachment concerns, and challenges that arise from adoption or foster care. She supports people dealing with separation, infidelity, and parenting strains. She also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and problems around commitment and control.
In sessions she uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that come from earlier relationships. She combines that with cognitive behavioral methods that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also brings trauma-informed perspectives when past hurt is relevant to current struggles.
Dr. Whitt aims for direct, practical conversation about what is happening now and how earlier family roles may still affect choices. Sessions often include talking through patterns, trying new ways of responding, and practicing specific skills for communication and stress management.
People come to her when they want clearer boundaries, better communication, or relief from persistent worry and overwhelm. She accepts English-speaking clients and is available to work with international clients through the platform. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Dr. Whitt uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how patterns from early family relationships show up now. This approach looks at repeating roles and expectations and connects past experience to present behavior. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions in everyday life. These methods help with anxiety, communication problems, and stress management. A trauma-informed perspective means she pays attention to how past hurts shape responses and adjusts the pace of work accordingly.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and select methods that fit. Sessions can mix approaches over time so practical skills and deeper pattern work reinforce each other.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Online work can also make it easier to schedule regular sessions for ongoing issues like family of origin patterns or burnout without rearranging a full day.
