Dr. Adrienne Whitt , LCSW

Dr. Adrienne Whitt brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice in Kentucky. She is an LCSW and has spent decades helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and trauma. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and burnout. Dr. Whitt focuses on clear, practical help and steady support as people make change.

Her approach blends psychodynamic ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-informed thinking. That means sessions can include looking at patterns from the past, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and working gently with the effects of trauma. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at small, doable changes.

Dr. Whitt often helps people who are coping with family problems, communication breakdowns, or the fallout from separation and infidelity. She also supports parents, caregivers, and people navigating adoption, attachment, or fatherhood challenges. Postpartum depression, midlife transitions, and commitment or control issues are other common focuses.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and compassionate. The therapist encourages honest conversation and helps people name difficult feelings without blame. Practical skills and emotional insight are woven together so clients gain tools to use between sessions.

People interested in online options can connect by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. International clients who speak English may also work with her. The goal is steady progress toward clearer relationships, less overwhelm, and better day-to-day functioning.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Whitt uses a blend of psychodynamic perspective, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-informed thinking. Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence present feelings. This can help when someone wants to understand why they repeat certain behaviors or feel stuck in similar conflicts.

Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These methods often include practical exercises and skill-building that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety or improve communication.

Trauma-informed thinking guides conversations so difficult memories and reactions are handled with care. It helps people recognize how stress and past harm affect their day-to-day functioning and relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies together, and adjust based on the client's goals and responses. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan fits their needs and pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone calls can fit a busy schedule or work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and stay consistent with treatment.
