About Kathi

Kathi Kennedy is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Colorado who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and a wide range of life adjustments.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting and caregiver stress, addiction and codependency, self-esteem and body image struggles, ADHD, and challenges tied to family dynamics. Her work includes attention to abandonment and attachment wounds, blended family concerns, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Kathi draws on an integrative toolkit that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR to help clients develop practical coping skills and greater emotional resilience.

With ten years of clinical experience, she aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can process painful experiences and gradually move toward the life they want to live. Kennedy emphasizes collaboration, skill-building, and pacing therapy to match each person's needs and goals.

Services are offered through Kennedy Counseling for clients in Colorado, and Kathi conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button, completing a brief matching questionnaire, and scheduling according to availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Kathi often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is an approach that helps process disturbing memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall, often helpful for trauma-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Kathi takes a collaborative stance when deciding methods. She will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then tailor a plan that may combine CBT skill-building, ACT strategies for values-based change, or EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or another convenient location and to choose the communication style that best supports their progress. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to maintain consistency and integrate new skills into everyday routines.
