Blakely Adams, LSCSW

Blakely Adams, LSCSW, helps people who feel stuck by focusing on strengths and practical steps. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what matters. Her approach aims to make daily pressures easier to manage and to help people feel more like themselves again.

Blakely draws on 12 years of social work experience in Kansas. She centers queer identity and the cultural forces that shape self-image, and she often supports people working through issues related to LGBT concerns. She also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.

In sessions she uses solution-focused and strengths-based methods to build on what already works. That means identifying small, concrete changes and practical strategies to try between meetings. She also incorporates narrative and existential ideas to help people make sense of their story and values when facing life changes.

Clients can expect a collaborative style that highlights personal values and existing resources. Blakely helps people sharpen communication, manage intense emotions, and set goals they can reach. She emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her invitation is straightforward: she partners with people to explore what matters, test manageable steps, and strengthen the skills that support a fuller life. Those ready to begin are asked to follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to connect and schedule.

Approaches that guide online work

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, focuses on skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people respond in stressful moments. It can be helpful for strong mood swings, impulsivity, and problems with emotional regulation.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and goals. Sessions aim to identify what is already working and build practical strategies to move forward between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process lets clients test what helps most and adjust the plan over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the session time to practice skills, review progress on goals, and try brief experiments that carry into daily routines.
