About Adrienne
Dr. Adrienne Whitt is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and compassion fatigue. She helps individuals and couples who are navigating life transitions, parenting challenges, and the practical fallout of mood problems.
Her practice blends simpler, well-known methods and deeper exploration. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns that show up in relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches to identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses trauma-informed perspectives when past hurt affects daily life.
In sessions she encourages straightforward talk about what is happening now and what keeps repeating. She asks concrete questions, helps people name patterns, and works on small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Sessions include checking how coping is going and adjusting plans as needed.
People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships may recognize the patterns Adrienne discusses. She also addresses issues tied to adoption, attachment, caregiver stress, infidelity, and postpartum depression when these fit someone’s goals. She accepts international clients and works in English.

How sessions work
How Adrienne applies proven approaches online
Dr. Adrienne Whitt draws on psychodynamic work to help people notice repeating relationship patterns and where those patterns began. This approach focuses on recurring behaviors and feelings, and it can help when someone keeps finding themselves in the same kinds of painful interactions.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to map specific thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Those methods center on practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve communication. When past trauma is relevant, she applies trauma-informed perspectives to avoid retraumatizing and to address how early experiences shape present responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Adrienne collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and challenges appear.
