About Kathleen
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than three decades of clinical experience. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and life transitions. Kathleen focuses on helping people identify strengths and values they can use to make change.
Her approach blends client-centered ideas with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She encourages practical steps and personal insight so clients can improve decision-making and restore balance. Many clients seek her help for self-esteem, communication problems, and recovery from unhappy or unhealthy relationships.
Kathleen also offers journal-based methods she helped develop. She uses life-focused writing as a companion to therapy to promote clarity and steady progress. Writing exercises are used alongside conversation and skill-building tasks to deepen self-awareness and track change.
Her work emphasizes clarity of purpose and cultivating personal strengths. She has written books on journal therapy, including Journal to the Self and Journal Therapy for Calming Anxiety. Kathleen has combined clinical practice, teaching, and writing throughout her career.
Clients can expect a practical, human approach that values their experiences and goals. The focus is on usable tools, clearer thinking, and small, achievable steps toward better functioning and greater self-understanding.
How Kathleen’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. It involves listening closely, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping them discover their own answers. This approach can be useful when someone wants support in finding their values, strengths, and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses concrete exercises and homework to build new skills for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation through focused attention and breathing practices. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kathleen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time as needs change and progress is made. Session work online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as squeezing a meeting into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. If you prefer shorter check-ins, written reflections, or exercises that pair well with journal therapy, those can be discussed with the therapist.
