About Adrian
Adrian Kim is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with ten years of clinical experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue.
Her work is straightforward. She listens and responds to what a person brings. Conversations focus on the problems people face at home and in daily life. Sessions aim to make issues easier to manage rather than promise quick fixes.
Adrian draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for managing intense emotions and staying present.
Her approach is practical. She helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. She and the client set small, realistic steps to try between sessions. Progress is checked regularly and adjusted as needed.
Adrian has spent a decade working with a wide range of concerns related to family life and caregiving. That includes blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, family of origin patterns, and aging or geriatric concerns. Her practice also covers body image, commitment questions, and coping after disasters.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.
How sessions work
How Adrian Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Adrian commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy keeps conversations grounded in the client's own experience, encouraging honest reflection and practical problem solving.She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those techniques are useful for managing intense feelings and improving responses during heated family interactions or caregiving stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adrian treats the choice of methods as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Early sessions typically include setting priorities and trying a few strategies to see what fits.
Session formats are not described in the profile, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy household schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Licensed professionals often find that remote sessions make it simpler to maintain continuity during life transitions, but the exact formats should be checked with Adrian when arranging the first appointment.
