About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with two decades of clinical experience. She brings a practical, person-focused approach and aims to create a calm, listening space where people feel heard and respected.
She works with individual adults, children, and adolescents on concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addictions, and stress. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, eating and body-image issues, and codependency. Her background includes work in private practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient settings.
Her style is integrative and client-centered. Sessions focus on real-life steps and the client’s priorities. She uses tools like books, podcasts, and practical exercises to reinforce work done in session.
Dr. Sullivan draws from several therapeutic approaches including attachment-focused work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness. She aims to match methods to the person in front of her rather than use a single fixed model.
People who choose her often want straightforward, respectful help with stress, parenting, relationship concerns, or coping with life changes. She explains ideas plainly and helps people build skills they can use between sessions.
Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and learn new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change problematic behavior. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and improve emotion regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Dr. Sullivan works collaboratively to match techniques to each person's goals and situation. She listens to what matters most and adjusts methods as progress is made, so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also support use of digital tools like readings, worksheets, and audio materials between meetings to reinforce new skills.
