About Blakely
Blakely Adams is a KS LSCSW with 12 years of social work experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, identity questions, and related concerns including family of origin issues. She also addresses ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue.
Blakely draws on practical, skills-based work to help people manage overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. She uses approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to build coping skills and solve immediate problems. She also brings Narrative and Existential perspectives to help people make sense of life choices and personal values.
In sessions she focuses on identifying strengths and values clients already have. Conversations often center on developing clear steps forward and learning concrete skills for emotion regulation, communication, and stress management. Work may include short-term problem solving and longer discussions about identity and meaning.
Blakely has experience supporting people through coming out and queer identity concerns, and she pays attention to how culture and social expectations shape behavior. She helps clients who want to shift long-standing family patterns or understand how early relationships affect current choices.
Practical tools, straightforward feedback, and collaborative planning are common in her work. People leave with skills they can use between sessions, and with clearer ideas about next steps in their lives.
How her clinical approaches translate to online work
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on teaching clear skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Online sessions can include skills practice, behavioral coaching, and concrete tools for anxiety, impulsivity, and emotional regulation.Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories and rewrite how they describe their life. In remote sessions this often looks like talking through personal narratives, identifying alternative meanings, and planning small steps to test new ways of being.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals, concerns, and preferred pace. That choice can change as therapy moves forward and new needs emerge.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. The practical aim is to make therapy workable around everyday responsibilities while focusing on skills, values, and problem-solving.
