About Kevin
Kevin Bagwell is an LPC, licensed professional counselor, and an LPCC with 20 years of experience working in counseling and human services. He sees adults dealing with relationship struggles, family stress, depression, anxiety, addiction concerns, parenting pressures, and grief. He also works with people facing trauma, ADHD, codependency, and career or life transitions.
Kevin uses clear, practical conversations to help people untangle what matters most to them. He draws on approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods to identify patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions focus on small, doable steps and on building skills that make daily life easier.
In earlier roles Kevin worked in nonprofits, community mental health, university psychiatric settings, and private practice. That variety shaped his direct style and his interest in both short-term problem solving and longer-term emotional work.
He often combines client-centered listening with CBT tools to address symptoms and habits. He also brings existential questions into the room when people are facing meaning, loss, or major life change. Narrative and mindfulness elements may be used to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
Kevin aims to help people set clearer boundaries, manage stress and mood, and reduce behaviors that get in the way of their goals. He invites straightforward planning, practical skills, and reflection so people can make changes that fit their daily lives.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Kevin often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and existential questions. Client-centered work means listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person so they feel heard and can clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and practicing small experiments that change how daily life feels. Existential therapy addresses questions about meaning, loss, and life direction and can help when someone faces big transitions.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit the client's goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as sessions progress. Clients can expect a practical discussion about what to try next and why, with chances to review what works and what needs changing.
