About Kathleen
Kathleen Adams is a Colorado Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 32 years of experience in private practice. She works with adults and focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Kathleen blends humanistic, strengths-focused care with practical tools so clients can move toward clearer choices and daily improvements.
Her approach centers on discovering a person's core strengths and values. Kathleen uses cognitive-behavioral ideas and solution-focused strategies to help people set goals and try small, doable changes. She also draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people understand difficult feelings and reorganize unhelpful stories about themselves.
Journaling is a core tool in her work. She has used life-based writing for healing since the mid-1980s and wrote the book Journal to the Self in 1990. Kathleen often introduces specific writing exercises that deepen insight and speed up progress when paired with therapy conversations.
She describes therapy as a garden where roots and blossoms of personal potential are grown. That image guides her work with people recovering from unhealthy relationships, coping with career or workplace stress, or managing mood concerns and trauma recovery.
In addition to clinical work, she has taught and written extensively. Her most recent book, Journal Therapy for Calming Anxiety, was released in June 2020. She helps people bring practical practices into everyday life so skills learned in sessions translate into real change.
