About Blakely
Blakely Adams is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) in Kansas with 12 years of social work experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, identity questions, and anger. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, depression, career shifts, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue.
Blakely draws on practical, skills-based methods. She uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify what helps in the moment and build everyday coping skills. She combines that with Narrative and Existential approaches to look at personal meaning and life choices.
Sessions are collaborative and focus on clear steps you can try between meetings. Conversations often include identifying strengths, testing small changes, and tracking what works. Blakely emphasizes values and personal resources when addressing anger, resentment, or snapping at people you care about.
She speaks openly about queer identity and related challenges, and will work with clients around gender dysphoria, LGBTQ issues, and HIV/AIDS concerns when relevant. Blakely also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin issues, and intimacy-related struggles in individual sessions.
If you want practical tools for temper, frustration at work, or building steadier responses at home, Blakely focuses on skills you can use right away. To set up a first session, follow the online matching and scheduling steps the site provides.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Blakely uses a mix of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. DBT-informed skills focus on concrete strategies for managing strong feelings, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation. Those techniques are often helpful for people wanting immediate, practical ways to reduce snapping or overwhelming reactions.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and on what changes will look like in daily life. That approach helps clients set short-term goals and try specific actions between meetings to see what works. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and can help reframe patterns that feed anger or low self-worth.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist adjust the plan together as progress is seen or new priorities emerge.
