About Blakely

LSCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker) with 12 years of clinical social work experience based in Kansas. Blakely Adams focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Blakely uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. She draws on a strengths-oriented, solution-focused stance to help people notice what already helps them and build from there. Sessions are practical and aim to clarify values and workable next steps rather than only talking about problems.

People who are navigating sexual orientation or gender-related questions may find her personal perspective and clinical focus relevant. She often helps people identify values, name strengths, and make choices that match what matters to them. Conversations move at the client's pace and focus on what the client wants to change or understand.

Blakely also supports people facing caregiving stress, first responder issues, body image and identity concerns, and challenges related to fertility, HIV/AIDS, or gender dysphoria. She works with issues like commitment and communication problems, divorce and separation, and patterns such as avoidant personality or impulsivity.

Her style emphasizes clear goals and small, testable changes. She combines narrative work about life story with concrete skills from DBT and brief, solution-focused planning. To get started, prospective clients follow the site's intake steps to match and schedule an initial session.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people with mood swings, impulsivity, and high stress by giving clear tools to use between sessions.

Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate problems from the person, reframe difficult events, and find alternative narratives that better match a client's values and goals.

Blakely treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with the client to match skills, story work, and short-term solution planning to the client's goals and preferences. That means trying an approach, reviewing how it feels, and adjusting the plan together.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery options. In practice, remote work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a work break, or letting a person choose not to use video. Licensed professionals often combine skill practice and narrative exercises between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
