Kevin brings sixteen years of counseling experience to his work and earned a graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California in 2005. He moved to Texas in 2009 and has practiced in the region since then. That experience informs how he listens and responds during sessions.
His style blends empathy with practical focus. Sessions look at how thoughts and coping habits shape feelings. He helps people identify unhelpful thinking, test new ways of responding, and set realistic steps toward goals.
Kevin uses several approaches to address problems. He incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change patterns that fuel anxiety and depression. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help calm the mind and increase present-moment awareness.
Clients can expect patient listening and structured guidance aimed at solving current problems. He also attends to deeper issues like family of origin, abandonment, fatherhood, and multicultural concerns when those topics arise. The focus is on making changes that fit each person’s life and values.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clear on what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. It often involves noticing private thoughts without getting stuck and committing to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or depression and testing new, more helpful ways of responding. It is useful for stress, mood, and many day-to-day problems.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust if something is not working.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and can support regular practice of mindfulness or behavioral experiments between sessions. Ask about formats and scheduling during the matching process so you can choose what best fits your routine.
