About Kathi

Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience based in Colorado. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, relationships, grief, trauma and many life changes. Kathi also supports people facing issues with sleep, eating, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Kathi uses practical talk and skill-building in sessions. She helps people learn new coping strategies and try small behavior changes. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on steps someone can take between sessions.

Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Those tools are used to address upsetting memories, strong emotional reactions, and stuck patterns that repeat in relationships.

Kathi aims to help people notice unhelpful habits, tolerate difficult feelings, and make choices that match their values. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family issues, codependency, and substance-related concerns. Sessions include skills practice, reflection, and planning realistic next steps.

People who are looking to manage anger, reduce reactive responses, rebuild trust after conflict, or handle ongoing resentment can find clear, straightforward techniques here. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Kathi uses ACT, CBT and DBT online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting trapped by them, then clarifying personal values and taking small steps to live by those values. ACT can help with anger that comes from avoidance or long-standing frustration. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and reactive anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes concrete skill sets such as distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness to reduce impulsive reactions and improve conflict outcomes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, DBT, or using EMDR techniques when addressing trauma memories.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include easier scheduling and fitting therapy into a busy day. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it simpler to keep regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits into everyday routines.
