About Kathi
Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of clinical experience based in Colorado. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and codependency. She also lists support for parenting, career strain, caregiver stress, and problems rooted in family of origin.
Kathi uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions usually focus on learning coping tools, improving boundaries, and making concrete changes that fit everyday life.
Her approach centers on what people notice in their daily routines. She helps clients identify patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves in relationships. Work can include skills for emotion regulation, exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and steps to reconnect with personal priorities.
Kathi also addresses issues that come from family dynamics, abandonment and attachment wounds, blended family difficulties, and problems related to substance use. She offers support for body image, eating-related concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. For people caring for others, she can help manage caregiver stress and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are aimed at clear, usable changes rather than abstract talk. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process and schedule a first session so practical goals can be set together.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kathi uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) often in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward them while accepting difficult feelings. It can help when people feel stuck caring for others at their own expense or are struggling with shame or avoidance. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing habits.She also draws on EMDR for trauma processing when it fits the client’s needs. EMDR involves guided processing of distressing memories to reduce their hold on present life and can be helpful for trauma and abuse histories. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Many people find virtual sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with Kathi through the site’s matching questionnaire and scheduling tools to set up sessions that match your goals and daily routine.
