Kathleen Adams , LPC

Kathleen Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 32 years of experience. She works with adults on worry, low mood, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and stresses related to work and caregiving. Kathleen emphasizes practical ways to uncover strengths and use them for change.

Her approach blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused ideas. She helps people identify values and small steps that fit their lives. Journaling is a frequent tool she offers to deepen insight and track progress.

Clients who come for support around trauma, mood disorders, or burnout find a steady, experienced clinician who favors clear, doable strategies. Kathleen often pairs mindfulness practices with writing exercises to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build calmer responses.

She has written widely about journal therapy and has used life-based writing techniques since the mid-1980s. Those techniques are brought into sessions as a way to clarify goals and notice change between meetings.

Sessions are geared toward practical problem solving and personal discovery. Kathleen aims to help each person notice workable strengths, try new choices, and make decisions that match their values. The tone is warm, direct, and focused on real-life results.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, respect, and helping people name their values and goals. It supports self-awareness and is useful when someone wants a steady, empathetic space to sort through decisions and feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to shift mood and anxiety. It is practical for worries, low mood, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm racing thoughts, which can ease stress and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kathleen will work with each person to test ideas and adjust techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tends to combine talking, short experiments, journaling, and mindfulness so the plan fits daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and have more natural conversation, phone can be a good low-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using the therapist's approaches in everyday contexts.
