Blakely Adams

Blakely Adams, LSCSW, helps people facing anger, stress, and identity questions. She writes in a direct, supportive way and focuses on building strengths people already have. Her approach is practical and goals-oriented so clients can see small changes early on.

She draws on 12 years of social work experience in Kansas. That background informs how she looks at worry, anxiety, depression, and difficulties with relationships or intimacy. Blakely emphasizes values and personal strengths rather than blaming people for feeling stuck.

Blakely often uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, achievable steps. She also works with narrative and existential approaches to help people understand their life stories and find meaning when things feel confusing. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel intense.

In sessions she helps people name their patterns, try small experiments, and practice new ways of handling conflict and anger. She supports exploration of gender and sexual identity and the stress that can come with those experiences. The tone is collaborative and down-to-earth, not academic.

People looking for help with parenting stress, career transitions, grief, addictions, or managing impulsivity will find practical tools and honest conversation. To begin, Blakely asks about what matters most to the person and then builds simple, actionable steps toward those goals.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT centers on teaching skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. It can help people who struggle with intense anger or self-destructive urges by offering concrete techniques for calm and problem solving.

Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful narratives. This approach is useful for identity concerns, grief, and feeling stuck because it creates space to see different possibilities for one’s life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Blakely will ask about goals, strengths, and what feels most helpful. She tailors sessions so tools come from the person’s values and daily life, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions for fitting therapy into work or family schedules, reducing travel time, or making it easier to do short check-ins between busy days. Online work can also make it simpler to practice skills in real time and bring issues from everyday life directly into the conversation.
