Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kevin integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet clients where they are. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore their priorities and values while strengthening self-awareness and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method is used when relationship and couple dynamics are central - it offers practical tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild emotional connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kevin works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques from different approaches rather than relying on a single model, so treatment feels personalized and goal focused.
Online therapy with Kevin is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows therapists and licensed professionals to meet clients where they are. These options provide scheduling flexibility, easier access for people with busy lives or mobility limits, and multiple ways to engage in therapy based on comfort and need.
