About Adrienne

Dr. Adrienne Whitt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and compassion fatigue. She also helps with life transitions and mood struggles.

For many clients she focuses on concrete relationship problems such as communication breakdowns, commitment concerns, infidelity, divorce and fatherhood issues. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, and caregiving stress. Postpartum depression and midlife transitions are other areas she addresses.

Her clinical style combines psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behavioral approaches, and trauma-informed perspectives. That means she pays attention to how past patterns affect present behavior, works on practical thinking and behavior changes, and keeps trauma impacts in view. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented when useful.

She has experience with professionals managing compassion fatigue and burnout and with people coping with abandonment and codependency issues. In sessions she helps clients identify patterns, practice different ways of relating, and try small experiments to change interactions.

Dr. Whitt works in English and accepts international clients. If you want to explore whether she fits your needs, follow the listed scheduling steps to complete the short matching questionnaire and set up a first session.

BHow sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions and how they help

Her work draws on psychodynamic ideas, which look at how past relationships shape current behavior and recurring conflicts. This approach helps when patterns from family of origin or earlier attachments keep repeating in adult relationships.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different behaviors. These techniques are useful for managing anxiety, mood problems, and stress through concrete exercises and experiments.

Lastly, a trauma-informed perspective guides how she recognizes and responds to trauma effects in the room. This orientation helps people who carry the effects of past abuse or overwhelming events and need a paced, careful approach.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and may combine elements from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time for appointments. Discuss format and scheduling details during the matching and booking steps to find what suits your routine.
