Welcome. I’m Kaci Guilford, MA, LPC, ACS, NCC.

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes you just need a safe place to land. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and clinical supervisor (ACS) based in Denver offering in-person and virtual counseling for individuals and couples who are ready for real change. If you want a counselor who’s down-to-earth, brings humor to the hard stuff, and truly gets what it means to be human, you’re in the right place.

Why Therapy? Why Now?

Everyone faces moments when life feels heavy, confusing, or just plain stuck. Maybe you’re navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, or big life transitions. Or maybe you just want to feel more like yourself again. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, it’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, process what’s weighing you down, and build a life you’re excited to live.

In a world full of quick fixes and AI chatbots, real therapy is different. I believe healing happens in genuine human connection. While technology can offer support, it can’t replace the warmth, humor, and understanding that comes from sitting with someone who truly listens and cares. Therapy is a place to be fully seen and heard, no algorithms, just authenticity.

My Specialties

  • Therapy for Women

    Compassionate support for women navigating disordered eating, body image struggles, life transitions, and the unique pressures and demands of modern womanhood.

  • Individual Therapy

    A safe, supportive space to explore your challenges, gain insight, and develop practical strategies for living a more fulfilling life—whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, or major life changes.

  • EMDR & Trauma Therapy

    Evidence-based trauma treatment (EMDR) to help you process and heal from past experiences, reduce distress, and reclaim your sense of safety and self.

  • Couples Counseling

    Guidance for couples at any stage—improving communication, resolving conflict, strengthening connection, and building a resilient partnership for the future.

  • Spiritual Counseling

    Integrating your spiritual beliefs (if you choose) into the therapeutic process, honoring your values and supporting your journey toward wholeness.

Why Work With Me?

With over a decade of experience as a Denver therapist, I bring advanced training in trauma therapy (EMDR), women’s issues, and relationship work. My clients describe me as direct yet deeply compassionate, a counselor who balances honesty with warmth, and seriousness with laughter. I show up as a real person, not cookie-cutter “and how does that make you feel,” and I’m committed to walking alongside you, wherever you are in your journey.

How It Works

  • 1. We Get to Know You

    Your story matters. We’ll start by exploring what brings you here, your experiences, your challenges, and your hopes for the future. This is a space for honesty, curiosity, and connection.

  • 2. We Create a Plan Together

    Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll work together to clarify your goals and develop a plan that’s tailored to your unique needs, values, and priorities. Whether you want to heal from trauma, improve your relationships, or simply feel more at ease, we’ll chart a path forward together.

  • 3. We Walk the Journey Side by Side

    Each session is a step toward the life you want. I’ll offer guidance, support, and practical tools along the way, adjusting our approach as needed. Growth isn’t always linear, but you won’t be alone as you move forward.
