Blakely Adams , LSCSW

Blakely Adams brings a strengths-based, solution-focused perspective to people navigating difficult life moments. With 12 years of social work experience, she blends practical strategies with gentle encouragement to help clients recognize and build on the values and abilities they already possess.

She draws on personal experience developing a queer identity and offers affirming support for those facing the challenges of coming out and living authentically. Her approach centers on identifying strengths, clarifying goals, and using collaborative problem solving to move through transitions and crises.

As an LSCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker), Blakely combines clinical expertise with a pragmatic focus on what will help a person now. She emphasizes teamwork - highlighting existing resources and working with clients to expand coping skills, resilience, and self-appreciation. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, values-oriented process that aims to clarify what matters most and to create achievable steps toward a more satisfying life.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Solution-Focused Therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented method that helps clients identify practical steps toward change and build on what already works in their lives - it is well suited for people seeking clear progress on specific concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, often called DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive behaviors - it can help with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and coping with overwhelming feelings. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their experiences, which can be especially helpful for identity work and recovering a sense of agency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Blakely works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors interventions from these approaches so therapy feels like a good fit rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility to care. These options allow people to meet with licensed professionals from home, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue work between meetings with written or instant-message support when appropriate.
