Kathi Kennedy

Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship concerns, grief, and life transitions. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her work also covers issues such as parenting strain, eating and sleeping struggles, burnout, and questions around identity and intimacy.

Kathi focuses on practical skills and steady emotional support. She listens first, then helps clients try new ways of coping. Sessions are aimed at reducing painful reactions and building clearer choices about next steps.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without being controlled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be used for processing trauma when appropriate.

Over a decade as a counselor has given Kathi experience with a wide range of concerns, from addiction and codependency to attachment and family of origin issues. She supports people facing abandonment wounds, blended family challenges, and career stress. The focus is on practical change that makes daily life easier.

Sessions are offered from Colorado and are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability using the Start Therapy button.

How Kathi’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without acting on them. In practice this means learning simple mindfulness skills and clarifying values to guide daily choices, which can help with anger, anxiety, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often uses homework and short experiments to reduce worry, change reactions, and improve sleep and eating habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kathi will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as progress is made.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online or phone formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when that is useful. Other practical benefits include being able to work on skills between sessions and using screen sharing or worksheets during the session. Licensed professionals aim to match approach and format to individual needs, helping people bring change into everyday life.
