About Kathi

Kathi Kennedy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of practice. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. Kathi also addresses issues related to ADHD, eating and sleeping concerns, and caregiver or compassion fatigue.

Kathi uses straightforward, skills-based methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on building steady routines at home.

Her work covers a broad range of relationship and family-related topics such as attachment, abandonment, blended family issues, and family of origin problems. Kathi also supports people facing substance use, codependency, and separation or divorce. She offers specific help with body image, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

In sessions she uses techniques from DBT to teach emotion regulation and from EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. The emphasis is on clear practices - noticing thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and learning skills that reduce day-to-day distress. Kathi explains options and steps so a person can decide what to try next.

People meet Kathi in Colorado. Sessions are offered in English. If someone wants to begin, the usual next step is to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks problems into small steps and is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts without needing to fight them and clarifying values to guide actions. DBT offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that fit the client’s goals, and adjust based on what helps. That discussion is part of early sessions so people understand what to expect.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since no formats are listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday lunch break or to meet without travel time. It also allows checking in with short follow-ups when life gets busy or using video if visual cues are helpful. Licensed professionals can use these tools to keep therapy focused on skills and progress while fitting sessions into everyday routines.
