About Kevin

Kevin Bagwell is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. He is an LPC and LPCC with two decades of experience in counseling. Kevin works in a direct, warm way and aims to build trust so clients feel heard and understood.

He earned a Master of Science in Counseling in 2001 and has worked across nonprofit settings, community mental health, a psychiatric hospital setting, and private practice. That background means he has seen a wide range of concerns from addiction and ADHD to trauma and grief. He uses practical methods that match each person's needs rather than a single fixed style.

In sessions he focuses on clear goals and everyday steps people can try between meetings. He draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. Narrative and existential ideas are used when helpful to make sense of life events and values.

Kevin also has experience with family and parenting stress, eating-related issues, anger, and career concerns. He has worked with people affected by domestic violence and those who need referral for assessment and additional services. He aims to help people rebuild a sense of control and direction.

If you want straightforward, respectful help sorting depression, relationship challenges, or major life changes, Kevin offers sessions grounded in practical steps and steady support.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Kevin often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s priorities to build trust and momentum. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a place to sort through feelings and choices.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that looks at thoughts and behaviors contributing to depression or anxiety and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for managing symptoms and developing routines that support daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people access a licensed professional from different locations when scheduling is the main barrier. Ask about specific session types and logistics when you set up your first appointment.
