About Kevin Schmidt
In addition to his LCSW credential - a license that qualifies him to provide clinical mental health care - he also holds certifications as a Certified Addictions Professional and a Substance Abuse Professional, reflecting focused training in substance use and behavioral addictions. He earned a doctorate in Clinical Sexology, which represents advanced study of human sexuality and sexual concerns. These qualifications inform his work with process addictions such as pornography or gambling, sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, and intimacy-related issues.
Kevin draws on evidence-informed methods to address impulse control, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and relationship difficulties while attending to issues of guilt, shame, and self-worth. He approaches each person with the assumption that they are the expert on their own story and seeks to build on existing strengths to create meaningful change. He recognizes that beginning therapy can take courage and affirms the significance of taking that first step.
Outside of his professional life, he is known to be laid back, honest, and reliable, and he values time spent with family and friends as well as quiet moments for reflection.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kevin Schmidt uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as primary foundations in his work. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and creating a supportive environment where the individual leads the exploration of their experiences - this approach is useful for building self-understanding, improving self-worth, and navigating relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them - it is effective for anxiety, depression, impulse control, and coping with stress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Kevin works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions so the plan feels like a shared effort rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into a busy schedule and to access licensed professionals from different locations within the same region. These options allow for consistent, adaptable care that supports progress even when in-person visits are not convenient.
