Kathi Kennedy

Kathi Kennedy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or self-esteem challenges. Kathi offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Her approach is relaxed and practical. She listens first, then helps people find skills that fit their life. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that make daily life easier. She encourages people to notice what matters to them and move toward those values.

Kathi draws on several therapeutic methods to guide her work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people accept difficult feelings while committing to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates elements of client-centered care, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate.

With ten years of experience as an LPC, Kathi focuses on practical coping skills and gradual progress. She aims to teach tools people can use after sessions end. The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

People who want to begin can expect a warm conversation about current struggles and goals. Kathi emphasizes learning new skills, building resilience, and moving toward the life people want to live.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, while guiding them to act in ways that match their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce distress; it often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, listening stance where the therapist follows the person's lead and helps them feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kathi will talk with each person about what they want to change, try methods that fit their goals, and adjust the plan as needed. The decision about which techniques to use is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Session options are not detailed in the biography, so readers should confirm current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to remote sessions so the focus stays on practical skills and steady progress.
