About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns.
Her work attends to practical day-to-day problems and emotional patterns that get in the way of functioning and wellbeing. She practices in a client-centered way, listening first and shaping sessions around each person's needs.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on mindfulness to build present-moment awareness. Attachment perspectives help her look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Dr. Sullivan uses problem-solving and behavioral tools alongside conversations about values and meaning. She also brings solution-focused techniques to create small, achievable steps people can try between sessions.
Her background includes work in independent practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient settings. That variety informs how she tailors strategies to different life contexts, from family stress to work pressure. Dr.
Sullivan often recommends practical resources to support therapy, such as guided readings, podcasts, and worksheets. She aims to help clients build coping skills, reduce impulsivity, and manage anger and emotional reactivity so daily life becomes more manageable.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns shape reactions today. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship histories and trying small communication experiments to test different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replacing them with more helpful options. CBT works well online because thought records, behavioral plans, and homework can be shared and reviewed between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of present experience; brief guided practices can be led during a video call or sent as recordings to practice later.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they try methods for a few weeks and adjust based on what helps most, mixing tools from different approaches when useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and guided exercises, phone works well for check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter problem-solving or check-ins, and text messaging fits ongoing reminders or brief progress notes. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while continuing steady therapeutic work.
