About Adrian

Adrian Kim is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, and depression. She aims to make the first step toward change easier by offering steady support and practical strategies.

She focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Sessions move at a person’s pace, with attention to immediate needs and long-term goals. Adrian listens for strengths and builds on them.

Her work often combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with client-centered conversations. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those tools match a person’s needs. Mindfulness skills are introduced when helpful for stress and emotional regulation.

Adrian has practiced for 10 years and draws on that experience to tailor each session. She explains ideas in straightforward language and focuses on workable steps people can try between meetings. Her approach is practical and compassionate.

People who are coping with life changes, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, or family-related difficulties often seek her help. She can also support those dealing with body image, caregiver stress, grief after separation, and feelings of guilt or emptiness. Sessions are offered in English and follow the LMHC scope in Indiana.

How Adrian’s approaches work in online therapy

Adrian often draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult experiences. This approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current feelings and reactions, and on building skills to manage triggers and painful memories.

She also frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting what a person is experiencing. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what goals matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, shows up in sessions as practical skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Adrian will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adapts plans as needs evolve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. These details are not listed here, so checking lets you pick the option that fits your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so sessions are simpler to attend.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
