About Kathleen
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She combines client-centered ideas with cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try concrete alternatives. She also uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people clarify values and personal stories.
Kathleen often uses journal-based exercises as part of therapy. Writing is used intentionally to track patterns, test new behaviors, and build insight. She has written about journal therapy since 1985 and has authored books on using writing to reduce anxiety and support change.
Her approach emphasizes identifying core strengths and values. Clients and she work together to turn those strengths into practical steps. Sessions focus on doable changes like clearer communication, better decision-making, and coping strategies for life transitions.
Beyond individual therapy, Kathleen has taught and trained other clinicians and written extensively on therapeutic writing. Her work aims to help people move from feeling stuck to making specific changes they can practice between sessions.
How Kathleen’s approaches translate to online sessions
Kathleen often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and mindfulness in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so people can connect with their values and make clearer choices. Mindfulness practice teaches brief attention exercises that can reduce reactivity and improve stress management.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. Kathleen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try approaches that fit those aims. She adjusts tools and homework over time based on what is helpful and workable for the client.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week, shortening commute time, and using screen-based tools such as shared worksheets or guided journaling prompts. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to review journal exercises together, try brief mindfulness practices during a session, and plan concrete steps to practice between meetings.
