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, relationship and parenting challenges, ADHD, and struggles tied to family dynamics. Dr. Sullivan also addresses grief, addictions, eating and intimacy-related issues as part of her practice.
Her background includes work across private practice, schools, churches, and universities. She has experience in inpatient behavioral health and intensive outpatient settings. That variety has shaped a practical, person-focused way of working with people who want clearer patterns and better day-to-day coping.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She also uses attachment-informed ideas and skills from dialectical behavior work when they fit the need. Sessions can include concrete tools such as reading suggestions, podcasts, and short in-session exercises to practice between meetings.
People often come to Dr. Sullivan wanting to understand how family of origin issues affect current relationships, parenting, and personal boundaries. She helps people notice recurring roles, control patterns, and expectations learned early in life, then tests small changes to see what works in ordinary living.
Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps. Clients are invited to set goals, try skills, and reflect on what changes feel useful. Language in sessions is plain and aimed at everyday problems and solutions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Sullivan commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns shape current connections. This approach helps people notice repeating roles and how they affect trust and closeness in adult relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills.Finding the best method is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Sessions include trying practical skills, reviewing what helped between meetings, and adjusting the plan as needed.
