Blakely Adams, LSCSW

Blakely Adams is a licensed social worker who helps people navigate major life shifts and the stress that comes with them. She focuses on practical steps to manage anxiety, low mood, relationship strains, and questions around identity. Her style is direct and strengths-focused so people leave sessions with a clearer next step.

Blakely has 12 years of social work experience and holds a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker credential, LSCSW. She often brings solution-focused and narrative ideas into conversations to help people reframe problems and spot small changes that add up. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to teach coping skills when emotions feel overwhelming.

In sessions she pays attention to the values and identity that matter to each person. For people wrestling with coming out or with LGBT-related stress, she helps map supports and personal strengths rather than giving one-size-fits-all advice. She aims to make the work practical and grounded in daily life.

Her additional focus areas include ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting stress, career concerns, and managing compassion fatigue. She also addresses issues like body image, communication problems, and fertility-related stress. These topics are approached with a collaborative, step-by-step plan.

Blakely practices in Kansas and runs therapy that centers real-world change. People who want clear tools, values-centered conversation, and short-term strategies often find this approach helpful. To begin, follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Blakely often uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to teach concrete coping skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation; these tools help when feelings are intense or recurring. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell a different story about themselves and their challenges, which can shift how they approach decisions and relationships.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Blakely treats the process as collaborative and will help clients pick methods that fit their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. Together they check what feels useful and adjust course as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also let someone use audio-only or lower-bandwidth options if that better suits their routine. Licensed professionals aim to tailor session pacing and homework to what clients can manage between appointments.
