About Kathleen
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Kathleen also lists focus areas such as career concerns, compassion fatigue, and life purpose.
Her approach blends client-centered principles with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She often uses journal-based exercises as a practical tool to help people notice patterns, organize thoughts, and try new behaviors between sessions. Kathleen describes this kind of writing as purposeful and life-based, intended to support insight and step-by-step change.
She has written about journal methods for decades and brings that longstanding experience into sessions. Clients who prefer concrete tasks and reflective writing will find specific tools to work on between meetings. Kathleen also draws on mindfulness, narrative therapy, and CBT strategies to address mood, trauma, and communication problems.
Sessions commonly focus on identifying core strengths and values, improving decision-making, and managing symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Kathleen notes attention to family of origin issues, codependency, intimacy-related concerns, and workplace stress as part of her scope. Her practice centers on helping adults clarify what matters next and take manageable steps toward change.
She maintains a body of written work that informs how she structures exercises and homework. Those interested in a practical, writing-influenced process will find her background relevant when considering next steps.
How Kathleen's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach emphasize clear, responsive conversation to help clients notice their priorities and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) organizes thoughts and behaviors into practical steps. In an online setting CBT often includes concrete homework, tracking mood and behavior, and short experiments to test new ways of acting between meetings.
Journal-based methods and solution-focused tools complement these approaches by giving people short, structured writing exercises and goal-oriented tasks to try between sessions. These tools can make remote sessions feel action-oriented and focused on small changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kathleen will help identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences, and she will adjust the mix of listening, CBT techniques, or journaling as the process unfolds.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings into a busy life and making it easier to attend when travel or scheduling is difficult. If you want to use writing tasks or mood trackers between sessions, that can be integrated into the plan. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and conducted.
