Kathleen Adams

Kathleen Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with more than three decades of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Kathleen emphasizes women's issues among her focus areas and aims to help people reconnect with their strengths and values.

Her approach blends humanistic, client-centered listening with practical methods from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused work. She often uses journal-based exercises as part of sessions, encouraging clients to write about real-life moments to build insight and momentum. Kathleen describes therapy as a place to identify the parts of a person that can support healing and growth.

Clients can expect a calm, reflective style that balances deep listening with concrete tools for change. Journal therapy is highlighted as a regular tool, used to speed insight and to accompany in-person conversations. Kathleen also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice patterns and tell different stories about their lives.

She has worked as a therapist, teacher, trainer, and author since the early 1990s. Her book Journal to the Self, first published in 1990, helped popularize writing for healing, and she has continued to write about journal-based practices, including a 2020 title focused on anxiety.

People seeking practical ways to manage mood, cope with loss, or claim greater self-direction often find her blend of listening and written exercises useful. She invites adults who want clearer choices and steadier emotional footing to consider working together.

How Kathleen’s Approaches Work Remotely

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person without judgment. It helps people feel heard and to find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Journal-based practices, drawn from narrative and mindfulness ideas, use writing as a tool to notice patterns, practice self-reflection, and track small changes over time.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s goals and comfort level. That may mean combining attentive listening with CBT exercises and regular journal assignments to support steady progress.

Practical benefits of online work should be confirmed before booking, since session formats are not listed here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and let clients use written exercises between meetings. Ask about the specific session options available so you can pick arrangements that suit your daily routine and needs.
