About Kathi
Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas and Colorado with ten years of practice experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and family of origin concerns. She also supports people facing grief, coping with life changes, and challenges with self-esteem and ADHD.
Kathi uses straightforward talk therapy and a mix of evidence-based approaches. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take practical steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
Sessions focus on learning coping skills, improving communication, and changing repetitive patterns that come from early family roles. She helps people notice how childhood dynamics continue to shape current choices and relationships, and then practices concrete alternatives. Work may include addressing abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, or codependency when these come up.
Kathi also incorporates elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for clients who are processing distressing memories as part of their work. She frames each plan around what a person wants to change and what feels manageable in day-to-day life. Progress is measured in practical steps rather than labels.
Her practice materials and guidance are presented in plain language. People who prefer an approach that mixes skill-building with reflective talk often choose this style. Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC standards she holds in TX and CO.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try first, check how those methods feel in practice, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals and preferences.
The original biography does not list which online session formats are available, so confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain regular contact while they practice skills between meetings.
