Kathi Kennedy , LPC

Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns. She works with issues tied to parenting, caregiving strain, career stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Kathi keeps therapy straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on learning coping skills and building habits that make daily life easier. She uses clear language and short, achievable steps so people can try new ways of handling hard moments.

Her approach blends evidence-based methods with a warm, client-centered stance. That means listening first, then introducing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance-based work to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. She also draws on dialectical skills for emotional regulation and uses EMDR when processing trauma is needed.

Over a decade of practice in Colorado has given her experience with a wide range of life transitions. Kathi aims to help people understand patterns from family of origin, attachment or abandonment worries, and codependency, then make different choices moving forward.

People often come to her to address body image and eating concerns, addictive behaviors, blended family stress, or commitment and intimacy fears. She offers practical coaching alongside therapy to support both coping and real-life change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into manageable pieces and teaches practical techniques to change them; it often helps with worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used when trauma memories are causing ongoing distress and can be applied carefully over telehealth when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, then adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick tools that feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage. Video calls let you work face-to-face when you want visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and on-the-go coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the work focused and practical.
