About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 11 years of experience. Kay works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity. They also support people dealing with mood disorders, sleep problems, addiction, and career stress.
Kay follows a client-centered way of working that lets the person set the pace and topics for sessions. They also draw on cognitive behavioral therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about change.
Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Kay listens, reflects, and helps people name the patterns that are getting in the way. Conversations may include skill practice, behavior experiments, and goal planning to reduce reactivity and build better responses to frustration and anger.
Kay's background includes work in outpatient, residential, and in-home settings. That range means they are familiar with everyday pressures and acute stress alike. They have experience with trauma-informed methods and supporting people through post-traumatic stress and related recovery.
People who come to Kay often want straightforward tools for handling strong feelings, repair strained relationships, or regain steadiness at work and home. To begin, Kay asks clients to describe their immediate concerns and what they hope to change so sessions can stay practical and focused.
How sessions work
How Kay's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's lead, listening closely, and helping the person clarify goals. Online sessions can use that same rhythm with check-ins, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thought patterns and behaviors; online sessions often include concrete exercises, homework, and brief behavior experiments to try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and drawing out personal reasons to move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kay will discuss the methods above and agree on what feels most useful based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is tracked and new problems come up.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. If you plan to try remote sessions, confirm which session formats Kay currently offers before booking. Many people find online conversations make it easier to maintain regular momentum while juggling work, family, and daily demands.
