About Kathleen Adams
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has maintained a private practice since 1992, working exclusively with adults. Trained in humanistic psychology, she integrates cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused therapy to help people identify core strengths and values and translate them into meaningful, practical change. Her work includes support for depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse recovery, life transitions, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue, as well as coaching and women-focused empowerment.
Kathleen describes therapy as a garden where roots and blossoms of potential are tended, and she uses journal therapy as a central tool - the intentional use of life-based writing to promote insight, clarity, and growth. She has been involved with journal therapy since 1985 and emphasizes its role as a companion to the counseling process, helping many clients reach therapeutic goals more efficiently.
In addition to counseling, Kathleen has taught and trained professionals and authored multiple books. Her first book, Journal to the Self, was released in 1990 and was an immediate best-seller. Her thirteenth book, Journal Therapy for Calming Anxiety, was released in June 2020. With over three decades of experience as a therapist, teacher, and author, she brings a blend of practical methods and a humanistic, strengths-based perspective to her work.

Approaches, collaboration, and online care with Kathleen Adams
Kathleen Adams blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices to support adults facing a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore values, strengths, and personal goals - it is especially useful for self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve decision-making. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness skills that can reduce rumination, help with stress management, and support emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kathleen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance helps clients feel empowered and engaged in their own healing journey.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those who prefer remote care. Sessions can take place by video call or phone and can also include live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. Licensed professionals, including Kathleen, use these formats to provide consistent, accessible help while tailoring sessions to individual needs.
