About Blakely

Blakely Adams is a licensed social worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and a broad range of life and relationship challenges. With 12 years of social work experience, she brings a strengths-oriented, solution-focused perspective that emphasizes clients' values and personal resources.

Background and approach

Her work often centers on building practical skills and clarifying what matters most to each person as they move through transitions or cope with ongoing difficulties. Adams draws on a blend of therapeutic methods including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor sessions to each client's needs.

She aims to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients identify goals, test new approaches, and develop tools for emotional regulation and improved communication. Based in Kansas, she holds the KS LSCSW license (LSCSW 05270) and conducts sessions in English.

The practice is welcoming to LGBT clients and others seeking help with identity-related concerns, trauma, relationship issues, grief, career stress, and many additional focus areas.

Approaches That Guide Online Care



Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for people struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, or pattern-driven behaviors. Narrative Therapy explores the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate problems from identity, allowing clients to re-author their experiences and highlight strengths.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Flexibility and ongoing review help ensure the approach fits each person's needs and preferences rather than being fixed from the start.

Online sessions provide practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, supporting access from different locations and schedules. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into busy lives while retaining the same therapeutic focus and collaborative planning that guide in-person work.
