Kathleen Adams, LPC

Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of experience working with adults. She lists stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, bipolar and other mood concerns, and caregiver or workplace stress among her focus areas. Her practice also notes codependency and communication problems as additional areas she addresses.

She describes her theoretical orientation as humanistic, combined with cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused work. That means sessions often focus on identifying personal strengths and values. Those strengths then guide small, practical changes people want to make in day-to-day life.

Journaling plays a clear role in her approach. She uses life-based writing exercises to help people gain clarity and track progress between sessions. Kathleen has written several books about journal therapy, including Journal to the Self and Journal Therapy for Calming Anxiety.

In sessions she helps people manage symptoms like anxiety or depression and also practical relationship concerns such as communication problems and boundary-setting. She supports people who are coping with loss, career decisions, major life transitions, or caregiver stress. Work often balances insight with concrete strategies and short-term goals.

Clients can expect a conversational style that focuses on what matters to them and on tools they can use outside sessions. Kathleen’s background as a teacher and author informs her use of exercises and written work as part of therapy. She practices in Colorado and conducts work in English.
