About Adrian

Adrian Kim is an Indiana-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience addressing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and depression.

Background and approach

She supports people navigating major life transitions, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue, and she brings additional focus to topics such as caregiver stress, blended family dynamics, body image concerns, and grief related to separation or divorce.

Her approach emphasizes creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can examine difficult thoughts and emotions and begin to build practical coping strategies. Adrian draws on evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor work to each person’s needs.

She aims to collaborate with clients to define clear goals and to use skill-building, reflection, and problem-solving to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Adrian practices from Indiana and offers sessions in English, inviting those ready to take a step toward change to start the process.

Online approaches that blend skills and compassion

Adrian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve problem solving. DBT provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for relationship strain, intense emotions, or coping with trauma responses.

Finding the right combination of approaches is something she treats as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most for the client’s needs and preferences. This allows treatment to remain flexible and focused on real-world change.

Adrian offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats support ongoing skill practice between meetings and let clients choose the way of communicating that fits their routine and pace.
