Background and approach

He helps clients notice how past relationships affect present choices and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving. His work commonly addresses parenting challenges, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, communication problems, and issues around commitment and codependency. He also pays attention to challenges tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, aging concerns, caregiver stress, and blended family situations.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Kevin helps clients replace self-sabotaging thoughts with more realistic ones and practices behavioral skills for everyday situations. He offers techniques for calming, decision-making, and improving relationships so people can try different responses when life feels hard.

Kevin trained in counseling and holds both a Doctorate in Counseling (D. Min) and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. He has worked in community and clinical settings, including counseling support for the U.S.

Armed Forces and leadership roles in community counseling organizations. He enjoys drumming, hiking, and reading outside of his clinical work.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current needs and responses, and it helps people notice and change patterns that harm relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance, giving people room to explore concerns at their own pace while the therapist reflects and supports their choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client's needs, and adjust as progress is made. The focus is on what helps the individual feel more capable and steady in daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for role play and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for clients who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when a short conversation fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
