About Kathi
Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She draws on ten years of clinical experience to provide calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
Kathi uses straightforward language and steady guidance so parents can understand next steps and feel more capable at home.
Background and approach
Her sessions aim to be warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first, then helps clients identify small, clear changes they can try between meetings. Expect guidance in building coping skills for sleep, eating, anger, and self-esteem, plus help navigating caregiving stress and blended family tensions.
Kathi integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR when trauma is involved. She also uses client-centered and dialectical techniques to tailor work to each person’s needs. This mix allows flexibility when addressing issues like codependency, attachment wounds, or substance concerns.
Sessions are offered by a Colorado-based LPC and are conducted in English. Kathi provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. Her approach is collaborative and practical, focused on helping people make steady, manageable progress.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect parents with therapy options and scheduling that match their availability and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to family life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build a workable life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for managing mood, sleep, eating concerns, and everyday stresses. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and reactions when trauma is part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathi collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy stays practical and client centered.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into busy family routines. These formats allow ongoing contact, quick check-ins, and flexible scheduling so parents can access support from home or on the go. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver the same therapeutic approaches while tailoring sessions to each family's circumstances.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
