About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is an LMHC practicing in Indiana with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, ADHD, and addictions. She also addresses grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
She uses an integrative, client-centered approach that focuses on listening and practical steps. Sessions often include concrete tools such as books, podcasts, and simple exercises. Her work draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and attachment-based thinking to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Her background includes work in private practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient programs. That range has exposed her to people dealing with custody and divorce questions, youth with individualized school plans, and adults facing chronic pain or caregiver stress.
In sessions she helps people map triggers, try skills for managing intense feelings, and make small behavior changes that fit daily life. She uses DBT-informed skills for emotional regulation alongside problem-focused planning from solution-focused approaches. The goal is steady practice rather than quick fixes.
People who come to her often want hands-on strategies and a straightforward therapist who listens and suggests practical steps. She works in English and practices in Indiana. If a person needs to know formats or scheduling, they should confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Dr. Sullivan uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new, more effective ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anger tied to rumination, workplace frustration, or recurring relationship patterns.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. This approach can help people understand why they feel threatened or shut down and practice different ways of connecting in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and what feels practical. That decision is revisited as skills are practiced and circumstances change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often mix skills practice, brief worksheets, and guided mindfulness or behavioral experiments so people can try techniques between meetings.
