About Kay
Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, and relationship struggles. Kay works with clients dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, self-esteem issues, and questions around gender and identity. Kay also supports people through career strain, sleep problems, bipolar mood concerns, and issues common to LGBT clients.
Kay’s style is straightforward and client-led. Sessions start with what feels most urgent to the person in front of them.
Background and approach
Kay listens, reflects, and offers practical ways to try new coping skills between meetings. Progress is measured by real changes in day-to-day life. Over 11 years of practice have included work in outpatient care, residential settings, and follow-up programs.
Kay has experience with individual and group formats and has supported clients from a wide range of backgrounds and life stages. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Therapy uses a mix of client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral tools, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused ideas.
That combination helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and rebuild a sense of safety after traumatic events. Kay adapts these methods to each person’s goals and pace. People who reach out can expect clear talk, practical homework, and a collaborative plan.
Kay aims to offer steady support whether someone needs short-term coping strategies or a longer path of healing and self-discovery.

Practical online approaches for stress, trauma, and anger
Kay often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the client leads the conversation while the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify goals. This approach is useful for people who want space to make their own decisions and feel heard.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT gives clear exercises and short homework tasks that target anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood swings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kay will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients and the therapist check progress together and decide what to keep or change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video works well when conversational cues matter, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs.
