About Kathleen
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems, and life transitions. Kathleen emphasizes helping people identify strengths and values to guide meaningful change.
Her approach combines client-centered care with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused tools. That blend helps people make clearer choices, shift unhelpful thinking, and take practical steps forward. She often uses mindfulness and narrative methods to help clients reflect and reframe difficult stories.
How Kathleen works
Journal work is a distinguishing part of her practice. Kathleen has used life-based writing as a therapeutic companion since the mid-1980s and has written books on the topic. She encourages journaling to build insight, track progress, and support emotional regulation during hard moments.
Over 32 years in practice, Kathleen has worked with people on issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and workplace strain. She also supports those coping with trauma and post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue. Her experience spans coaching, career questions, and exploring life purpose.
Sessions focus on practical steps and self-discovery. Clients can expect a collaborative tone where values and personal strengths guide the work. Kathleen blends listening with structured techniques so people leave with tools they can use between sessions.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what matters, and helps people clarify values and goals to guide change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks big issues into smaller steps, teaches skills for managing anxiety and mood, and helps people try new actions between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It pairs well with journal work to notice patterns and calm intense feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that fit their goals, strengths, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress unfolds so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a helpful short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats as needs change.
