About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. Kay helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with self-esteem or addictions. Kay also supports concerns tied to gender and sexual identity, bipolar mood patterns, sleep problems, anger, career questions, and feelings of isolation.
Kay uses a client-centered approach that lets the person guide the work. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs.
How Kay works
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are also part of the toolbox when practical, and trauma-focused strategies are used when past injury is an important factor. Kay trained first at College of the Ozarks and then earned a Master of Science in Counseling from Missouri State University. The LPC credential reflects professional licensure to practice counseling in Colorado.
Kay brings 11 years of experience working across outpatient and residential settings. In sessions Kay listens without judgment and focuses on clear, usable steps. Conversations often include exploring patterns of thought and behavior, setting small goals, and trying techniques between meetings.
The aim is practical change that feels doable day to day. People who meet with Kay typically work on building self-compassion, managing intense moods, improving sleep and daily routines, and repairing or clarifying relationships. Kay invites a steady, respectful pace and helps people find what works for them.

How Kay's Approaches Work Online
Kay draws mainly from client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work means the person sets the pace and topics while Kay listens deeply and reflects what is most important. This approach helps people feel heard and decide what to focus on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood shifts.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kay will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift or different challenges come up.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video lets the pair use face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and text options allow quick, ongoing support between sessions or for people who prefer writing. These formats aim to make counseling more flexible and accessible while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
