Gene Katz

Gene Katz is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado. He draws on 14 years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, sexual concerns, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He aims to treat people with respect, compassion, and sensitivity while tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.

He uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive space where people can talk through what matters to them. He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Existential Therapy helps when people are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or midlife questions.

Gene often addresses communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and issues around sexuality and identity, including LGBTQ concerns. He also works with people dealing with divorce and separation, forgiveness, impulsivity, panic, and post-traumatic stress. His approach is practical and focused on what people want to change in everyday life.

Sessions are shaped to each person’s goals and pace. Gene emphasizes collaboration - he listens first, then helps set small, realistic steps forward. He encourages honest conversations about what is and isn’t working so plans can be adjusted.

Taking the first step can be hard, and he acknowledges that. Gene supports people as they try new ways of coping, rebuild confidence, and aim for a more satisfying life.

How Gene’s Approaches Fit with Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Online work can preserve that conversational tone while letting people speak from wherever fits their schedule. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and experiments that translate well to remote sessions and short between-session tasks. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and major life decisions; it can be useful when people are coping with divorce, midlife shifts, or questions of purpose.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gene listens to goals and daily struggles, then suggests which methods to try first. Together they check progress and adapt the plan so therapy matches the person’s needs and preferences rather than a fixed model.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - fewer travel minutes, easier scheduling around work or childcare, and the chance to continue regular check-ins when circumstances change. It also supports concise, focused work such as CBT homework reviews or values-based conversations without requiring long in-person visits.
