About Adrian
Adrian Kim is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her manner is calm and direct, and she aims to create a space where clients can speak freely and be heard.
With ten years of experience, Adrian focuses on practical steps that clients can use between sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors the work to those priorities. Sessions often include clear strategies to manage difficult feelings and to improve day-to-day functioning.
Adrian draws on several well-known approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She uses these methods to help people clarify goals, notice patterns of thought and behavior, and try small experiments that build confidence. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also available when they fit the client's needs.
Her style is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Clients can expect to set goals together and to adjust the plan as progress is made or new concerns appear. Adrian encourages honest talk about what helps and what does not.
Sessions are offered in English and shaped around each person's life and schedule. To begin, visitors follow the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability. Adrian emphasizes steady, practical work that supports real change over time.

How Adrian’s approaches work in online care
Adrian combines Motivational Interviewing and Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find internal reasons to change, which can be useful for starting new habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience, offering nonjudgmental listening and support to help people talk through hard topics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Adrian works collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person's goals and comfort level. She checks in about what helps, adjusts the plan when needed, and invites clients to set the pace for change.
Session formats are not specified in the therapist biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when schedules are tight, and use written exercises or between-session practice that suit everyday life. Licensed professionals can tailor the balance of talking, skills practice, and homework to match each client's needs and routines. -
