Kathleen Adams, LPC

Kathleen Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. She brings 32 years of experience helping adults face anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Her work combines practical tools with a warm, human-focused style.

She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and solution-focused methods. That mix helps people identify strengths and change unhelpful thoughts or habits. Kathleen often uses journaling as a hands-on tool to clarify feelings and track progress.

Many people come for help with relationship setbacks, self-esteem, or career stress. She also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder. Sessions aim to make small, useful shifts that fit daily life.

Kathleen explains ideas plainly and invites clients to try short exercises between meetings. She values discovering personal values and using them as a guide for decisions. This approach is practical and focused on results people can notice.

Outside the therapy hour she has taught, trained, and written for decades. Her book work began with Journal to the Self and continues with later titles about using writing to calm anxiety. That background informs how she offers homework, journaling prompts, and step-by-step tools in sessions.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online

Kathleen often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on client-centered therapy, offering steady listening and support so people can find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathleen collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She may combine CBT skills, reflective listening, and brief solution-focused strategies to create a plan that feels workable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful when visual cues and face-to-face interaction matter. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick reflections, journaling prompts, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
