About Blakely
Blakely Adams, LSCSW, helps people facing stress and anxiety find steadier footing. She writes plainly and listens closely to each person’s experience. She aims to help clients notice their strengths and use those skills in day-to-day life.
Blakely brings 12 years of social work experience to sessions. She centers a strengths-based, solution-focused style that looks for practical steps toward change. That approach fits people who want clear goals and tools to manage tough moments.
Background and approach
She also draws on narrative and existential ideas to help people understand their story and values. Sessions may involve looking at how life events shaped core beliefs. That can help with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, identity questions, and major life transitions.
Blakely has supported people around LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, ADHD, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. She works with issues tied to self-esteem, body image, intimacy, and career strain as well. The focus is on what a person wants to change and small steps toward that change.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Blakely asks questions, offers short-term strategies, and builds on a person’s values and strengths. The work is practical and paced to each person’s needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Blakely integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy in ways that work well online. DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills like distress tolerance and emotion regulation that can be practiced between sessions and reviewed over video or chat. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories to reflect values and strengths, which can be explored through conversation and written reflections.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Blakely will talk with a person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, story work, or a mix, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other obligations.
