About Kathleen
LPC Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor with 32 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Her practice blends client-centered methods with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches.
Kathleen describes her orientation as grounded in humanistic psychology. She emphasizes discovering personal strengths and core values, then using those to make practical change. She often integrates journal work as a tool to deepen insight and speed progress.
Her work commonly addresses communication problems, caregiver stress, codependency, workplace issues, mood disorders, and trauma and abuse. She also focuses on women's issues, career concerns, and rebuilding after unhappy relationships. Sessions aim for clearer choices and steadier coping when life shifts occur.
Journal therapy is a central practical technique in her practice. She outlines structured life-writing exercises that clients use between sessions to clarify feelings and test options. Kathleen has written several books about journal practices, beginning with Journal to the Self in 1990.
Beyond writing, she uses cognitive-behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals. Mindfulness and narrative work are also part of her approach when they fit a client's needs. Clients can expect a mix of talking, short exercises, and written reflections.

How Kathleen uses CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding personal values, and helping people name their strengths. It is useful when someone wants a reflective space to sort priorities and make clearer decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and how they affect mood and behavior. It involves simple exercises to test beliefs and change unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and difficult decision-making.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness. It is often used alongside other methods to support stress management and calmer thinking.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kathleen will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful and then try methods together. She adapts tools like journal exercises, short behavioral tasks, and brief skill practice so they fit each person’s needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or enabling written exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals commonly use these conveniences to maintain steady progress without asking for major schedule changes.
