About Kimberly
Dr. Kimberly Deus Sullivan is a licensed mental health counselor with twenty years of practice. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stuck by offering steady, practical support.
Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. She uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. Her style is client-centered, which means she listens first and follows the person's goals.
She also draws on attachment work to help people understand patterns in close relationships, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Sessions move at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations are straightforward and goal-focused. She shares tools like worksheets, books, and short exercises so people can practice between sessions.
Dr. Sullivan has experience across many settings, including independent practice, schools, churches, universities, inpatient behavioral health, and intensive outpatient programs. That background gives her familiarity with common life stresses and practical hurdles parents face.
People come to her for help with grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body image issues, anger, caregiving stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing family-of-origin struggles, blended family adjustments, and issues around forgiveness and guilt. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Indiana.
Dr. Sullivan works with individuals and focuses on helping each person build skills, clarity, and small steps toward the changes they want.

How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; online sessions can help people spot those patterns and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing thinking and behavior through practical exercises and steps; it works well for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges by setting small, doable goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing thoughts and feelings without judgment and uses brief exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process means methods can shift over time as needs and progress change.
Online formats offer options that fit busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and do longer sessions. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can work as quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone send brief updates, practice tools between sessions, and stay connected without scheduling a full call. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work breaks, or when a short check-in is all that's needed.
