Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan

Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with two decades of experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate care for adults and young people facing common life stresses. Her work often focuses on anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, and relationship or parenting concerns.

She uses a client-centered, integrative style. Sessions prioritize listening, validation, and practical steps. She brings together elements of cognitive-behavioral work, mindfulness, and attachment-based thinking to match each person's needs.

Her background includes work in private practice, schools, churches, universities, and behavioral health settings. That range means she is familiar with school plans, inpatient care, and intensive outpatient services people may have encountered.

In sessions she blends talk therapy with concrete tools. She may suggest skill-building exercises, books, podcasts, or worksheets to practice between meetings. The goal is to help people manage symptoms and make small, steady changes.

Dr. Sullivan aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients feel heard. She helps people facing grief, life transitions, impulse control struggles, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, and other concerns. Her approach centers on collaboration and finding what works for each person.

People who want a practical, down-to-earth therapist who listens and offers doable techniques may find her style helpful. Her practice is based in Indiana and she works in English.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes safety and connection. It looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating reactions. This can be useful for people struggling with trust, intimacy, or family of origin issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often uses exercises and homework to build new habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and adjust methods over time. Together they decide whether attachment-focused exploration, skills-based CBT, or a mix fits best.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session options available before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered. Many people find that talk therapy plus practical exercises adapts well to remote formats and supports steady progress.
