Dr. Adrienne Whitt

Dr. Adrienne Whitt is an LCSW practicing in Kentucky with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports professionals dealing with compassion fatigue and burnout. Her work includes helping clients through divorce and separation concerns when those are part of the picture.

Dr. Whitt uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques drawn from psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behavioral approaches, and trauma-informed perspectives. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really think and feel. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than jargon.

Her approach blends looking at past patterns that affect current life with tools to change stressful thoughts and behaviors. That combination helps people work through communication problems, commitment questions, and family-of-origin issues. She also addresses specific concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, and infidelity.

Dr. Whitt works with individuals and couples on topics like parenting stress, fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, and midlife transitions. She emphasizes collaboration and sets goals together so the work fits each person’s needs and pace.

Finding therapy takes courage, and she offers steady support while clients try new ways of solving problems. People who want clear feedback, practical strategies, and thoughtful reflection often find this style useful.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Whitt draws on psychodynamic ideas to help people see how past relationships shape current behavior. This approach looks for patterns that repeat and helps clients name them so change becomes possible.

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas focused on practical tools to manage thinking and behavior. That work often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve communication.

Her trauma-informed perspective shapes how she responds to difficult memories and strong reactions. It means attention to pacing, safety, and shared decision making when processing painful experiences.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She works with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining insight-oriented work with concrete skills building over time.

Confirm available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people continue care across different locations and support steady work through life transitions.
