About Kathi

Kathi Kennedy is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Colorado with ten years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, and life changes. She also addresses concerns related to eating and sleeping, career and coaching questions, and LGBT issues.

Kathi takes a straightforward, conversational approach. Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps a person can try between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and introduces skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and related methods to change those patterns.

She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and commit to small, doable changes. Client-Centered work guides how she structures conversations so clients lead the pacing and topics. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR may be used when they fit the concern at hand.

Kathi often helps people who feel stuck after major life events, like relationship breakdowns or career transitions. She also supports people coping with family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment struggles, and the stressful demands of caregiving.

Practical goals are common in her work: better sleep, fewer panic moments, clearer boundaries, or steadier daily routines. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire, pick a time that fits their week, and schedule a first session through the online sign-up flow.

How Kathi uses specific therapies online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness when relationships feel intense.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kathi will talk with each person about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adapt the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process guides which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or avoid travel time around work or school. It can also allow use of worksheets and skill practice shared during the meeting. Talk with Kathi about how to shape sessions so they fit into your daily life and commitments.
