About Kevin

Kevin Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 22 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship strain, grief, intimacy concerns, attention challenges, and codependency. Kevin also lists issues related to career changes, compassion fatigue, and identity questions, including LGBT concerns.

He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. People can expect clear conversation about what is causing overwhelm and which habits keep problems going. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought and behavior patterns, Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person, and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are part of the picture.

Kevin leans toward short, doable steps that fit into everyday life. That might mean practicing boundary language, testing small behavior changes, or trying thinking exercises between sessions. He also helps with coping tools for panic, stress, and mood swings, and with navigating changes at work or in relationships.

He has worked for many years with adults dealing with isolation, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and the specific pressures some men and first responders face. Kevin pays attention to how patterns like people-pleasing and caretaking show up, and helps people discover clearer personal limits and priorities.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Clients and he map out what to work on, try approaches, and review what does or does not help as therapy proceeds.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to a person and shaping sessions around those priorities. Online sessions using this approach keep the conversation driven by the client's goals and concerns, which helps when working through patterns like people-pleasing or codependency.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts and behaviors into practical steps to change. In online sessions CBT is often used to identify unhelpful thinking, try short experiments, and assign brief exercises between visits to track progress on anxiety or mood symptoms.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past events on current reactions and coping. When trauma is part of the picture, online sessions can combine paced discussion with skills for managing distress and grounding between meetings.

Deciding which approach or mix of approaches to use is part of the work together. The therapist will help the client and him choose methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and they will adjust plans as progress and feedback come in.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. Therapists also use online meetings to review exercises, coach on boundary language, and practice skills between appointments.
