01About Kay

Kay Adkins is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Kay works with issues related to identity, grief, self-esteem, addictions, mood shifts, and concerns around intimacy and sexual orientation. Kay practices from Colorado and offers straightforward, compassionate support.

Kay uses a person-centered way of meeting people where they are. Sessions start with what matters most to the client and move at a pace the client sets.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on practical steps, clearer choices, and small changes that add up over time. Over eleven years of practice have included office-based work, in-home visits, residential care, and outpatient settings. That range has shaped a flexible approach to different life situations and stressors.

Kay draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood. Motivational Interviewing is used to support change when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques are applied when past harm keeps affecting daily life.

The emphasis is on working together to develop coping tools and safer ways of relating to distressing memories. Sessions are intended to feel direct and respectful. Kay aims to offer validation, clear feedback, and encouragement so people can try new ways of coping.

The overall focus is practical progress toward the goals a person names for themselves.

04Online support

How Kay’s approaches translate to online therapy

Kay commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means sessions follow the client's lead, with the therapist offering active listening and gentle guidance to help a person make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kay will check in about what feels useful and adjust methods based on the client's goals, comfort, and progress. That partnership helps decide whether to emphasize practical skills, motivational work, or trauma-focused strategies over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and interactive exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit busy days or provide quick ongoing support. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum toward goals.
