About Kathi
Kathi Kennedy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. She offers a calm, steady presence for those coping with life changes, grief, trauma, parenting strain, or career and self-esteem struggles. Kathi works with people facing eating and sleeping problems, ADHD challenges, and the burnout that comes with caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Kathi keeps sessions warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first, then helps clients learn practical coping skills. The focus is on healing from past wounds, building healthier patterns, and taking gradual steps toward the life a client wants.
Her approach blends methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. She also draws on dialectical strategies and EMDR when those fit a person’s needs. Kathi uses these tools to help people reduce distress, manage emotions, and change behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
With ten years of experience, Kathi aims to create a steady workspace where people can talk through painful topics and practice new skills. She encourages small, attainable changes and tailors techniques to each person’s goals. The result is a practical, paced path forward rather than quick fixes.
To begin, she invites people to consider what matters most to them, then work together on clear steps toward those values. The process emphasizes emotional safety, skill-building, and learning how to move forward after setbacks.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gently refocus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, codependency patterns, and life transitions because it emphasizes meaningful goals rather than internal struggle.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical tools to change patterns that maintain depression, anxiety, or self-critical thinking and is often used for work on sleep, eating-related issues, and coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a structured approach for people processing traumatic memories and strong emotional reactions. When appropriate, EMDR can help reduce the intensity of painful memories and support recovery from trauma and abuse.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kathi will discuss these methods with each person and choose techniques together based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize acceptance, skill training, trauma processing, or a mix of strategies.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people attend from a quieter space that suits them. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and paced trauma work to an online setting while focusing on workable steps that fit everyday life.
