Online session options
How Kevin’s approaches translate to online therapy
Kevin uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reshape the stories they tell about themselves. That approach is useful for concerns like family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, or identity questions because it focuses on meaning and perspective rather than labels.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while committing to actions that match their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Kevin pairs these with Client-Centered techniques that emphasize listening and building on a person’s strengths. Together the approaches make space for reflection and practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. He treats approach selection as a collaborative process and adapts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has limited bandwidth or needs a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy fit work, parenting, and busy schedules.
