About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. Kay brings 11 years of counseling experience and works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and family matters. They also address issues related to LGBT identity, trauma and abuse, intimacy, sleep problems, anger, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
Kay uses a warm, client-centered style that puts the person's needs first. Sessions are guided by what the client wants to work on.
Background and approach
Kay draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy when patterns of thinking or behavior are getting in the way. In practice Kay blends motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of the struggle.
The goal is to match techniques to each person rather than follow a rigid plan. Kay trained in counseling with a Master of Science in Counseling and holds an LPC credential. Their experience has included office-based and in-home practice, residential care for adolescents, follow-up services, and intensive outpatient work inside a medical facility.
These settings shaped a flexible approach to varying needs. Sessions tend to be straightforward and down-to-earth. Kay focuses on clear, doable steps alongside listening and support.
Parents reading on a phone will find concise, practical guidance and an emphasis on working together toward realistic goals.
How Kay's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's priorities and lets the client guide each session. The therapist listens carefully and reflects back what matters most so people can make their own choices and move forward.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings. In online sessions Kay uses simple exercises and homework to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily functioning for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Kay approaches help as a collaboration. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time to fit what the client needs.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life. These options allow for flexible scheduling, quick check-ins between sessions, and different ways to communicate depending on comfort level. That variety helps people stick with therapy and apply changes in everyday situations.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
