About Kathi
Kathi Kennedy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience in Colorado. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma and a broad range of life changes. Kathi also addresses issues common to LGBT clients, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and caregiver or compassion fatigue.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on learning coping skills, looking at patterns that create pain, and finding manageable ways to move forward. She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.
Kathi emphasizes clear steps over long explanations. She listens and then helps people try tools they can use between sessions. That can mean simple behavioral changes, new ways to talk about a relationship, or learning strategies to reduce overwhelm.
Her background includes a decade of counseling adults in Colorado settings. She brings experience with blended family questions, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and problems that come from family of origin issues.
Practical issues like sleep, eating, substance concerns, and career stress are included in her work. People who are dealing with isolation, emptiness, or recovery from abuse can explore paced strategies that address symptoms and day-to-day functioning. To start, Kathi asks for basic information and schedules a first session to clarify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that align with personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting; it is often used for anxiety, sleep and mood concerns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact when trauma is a central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods in session, and adapt based on a client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to emphasize over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because this profile does not list them. In general, online sessions can fit into busy days more easily and reduce travel time. They can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around work or childcare, or choose a quieter time without leaving home. Licensed professionals often use the same approaches online as in person, adjusting exercises and between-session tasks so they work in a virtual setting.
