    About Kay

    Kay Adkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Kay also supports those facing trauma, addiction, issues with self-esteem, and questions related to gender and identity. Kay uses a calm, respectful manner and encourages clients to set the pace for therapy.

    Kay trained in counseling with a focus on person-centered work, which means the client’s goals guide the sessions. Over 11 years of clinical experience includes office and in-home practice, residential care, follow-up services, and intensive outpatient work. That variety has shaped a flexible approach to different life challenges.

    Sessions often draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-focused ideas when those approaches fit the person’s needs. Kay aims to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and build skills that make daily life more manageable. Conversations are practical and down-to-earth rather than academic.

    Kay has worked with individuals across the lifespan and with varied life circumstances, including aging concerns and mood disorders. The goal is to partner with each person to identify concrete steps forward, whether the focus is on coping skills, emotional processing, or motivation to change.

    People who meet with Kay can expect a collaborative, accepting tone and a focus on what matters most to them. The work is paced to the individual, with attention to real-life limits and the small wins that add up over time.

  2. Approaches that guide online sessions

    Kay often blends Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find motivation for change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead so the client sets priorities and the pace. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to help someone resolve mixed feelings and move toward action.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kay will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean focusing on motivation early on, shifting to skill-building with CBT ideas, or bringing in trauma-focused methods if needed.

    The original profile does not list which online or remote session formats are used, so please confirm available options before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy fits around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to phone or video formats when those options are offered, and Kay will discuss practical arrangements during the matching and scheduling process.
