About Blakely
Blakely Adams, LSCSW, focuses on helping people manage strong feelings and life stressors. She centers on practical skills and strengths. Her approach is direct and supportive, aimed at helping people get through hard moments and build on what already works for them.
She brings 12 years of social work experience to sessions. That background informs how she helps clients cope with anger, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports people dealing with identity questions, relationship strain, and challenges around parenting and caregiving.
Background and approach
Blakely uses clear, skills-based methods drawn from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions often include short-term goal setting, skill practice, and talking through choices people can try between meetings. This makes therapy feel practical and doable for busy lives.
Narrative and Existential ideas shape how she listens to each person’s life story. She helps people name the patterns that no longer serve them. Then she helps rewrite those stories so daily actions line up with personal values.
She works with clients in Kansas and conducts sessions in English. People come to her for help with identity and LGBT concerns, ADHD and impulsivity, addiction issues, compassion fatigue, and family of origin problems. Blakely encourages a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and priorities.
To begin, she asks clients to identify immediate goals and strengths. From there she supports steady, concrete steps toward calmer responses and clearer choices.

Approaches Blakely lists

Approaches that guide online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on teaching concrete skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective communication. It can help people who react strongly to stress or struggle with impulsive behaviors.Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from their problems and find alternative stories that support healthier choices and clearer values.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, test different ways of working, and adjust methods over time. That means trying skill practice, short-term solution-focused tasks, or story work according to what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill coaching. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to receive support around work schedules, caregiving demands, or when travel would be difficult.
