Gene Katz, LPC

Gene Katz is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Colorado with 14 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, addictions, intimacy concerns, and LGBTQ issues. He aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for clients to talk through what matters to them.

Gene uses a flexible approach and adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. He listens for what feels most important and works alongside the client to set practical goals. Sessions tend to focus on real-life changes and clearer ways to handle upsetting thoughts and urges.

His work covers relationship difficulties, communication problems, and struggles with isolation or loneliness. He also supports people dealing with midlife questions, life purpose, and transitions such as divorce and separation. Sexuality, men’s and women’s concerns, forgiveness, and self-love are other common topics he addresses.

Gene works with people managing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, and impulsivity that gets in the way of daily life. He combines client-centered listening with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral and existential approaches to help clients find practical steps forward.

People who choose to work with him start by describing their main concern and what they hope will change. Gene then tailors brief treatment goals and helps track progress so conversations lead to noticeable shifts over time.

Approaches that guide online work and decision-making

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It’s about being treated with respect and having space to say what matters, which can help with anxiety, relationship concerns, and questions about identity.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and manage impulses. It often involves setting small, doable goals and practicing new responses between sessions.

Existential therapy helps people reflect on meaning, life purpose, and choices during transitions like midlife questions. It encourages exploring values and taking responsibility for changes someone wants to make.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gene will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change when needed.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and use shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from their own Colorado-based counselor without changing daily routines.
