More about Kevin
- 16 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I have been a professional counselor in Texas for over 12 years. I received my BS in Psychology and MA in Counseling from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls. I served as counselor for the mental health community centers in Texas for over 10 years and helped many people with a wide range of mental health challenges. I am also trained in trauma informed care. I worked for 3 years with military personnel and their families on issues related to mental health, family relationships, and military service. My primary tools for counseling are solution focused therapy, cognitive therapy, and helping you to define what constitutes a happy and healthy life while supporting you in achieving it. We can incorporate mindfulness, positive psychology, cognitive therapy, and any number of therapeutic tools to get you to where you feel you want and need to be. All services I provide are client centered and seek to fulfill your needs in a way that provides increased clarity, stability, and a greater sense of peace.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I find kevin really let's me vent and let's me explain my situations that are triggering me and give me positive feedback he recently sent me some work sheets to focus on which is going to help me recognize more ways to deal with triggering situations in a healthier matter . And if im having a situation I message him and he gets back to me so he's there to listen and help guys and I would recommend him
Kevin is a easy going layed back guy who is very down to earth. He makes it easy and comfortable to talk with him about anything and offers solid advice and support in the areas I was most struggling in my life. I am very grateful for Better Help and having connected with Kevin as my therapist. My life has improved dramatically with the work I've put in over the last few weeks. Improvement in all my relationships and I couldn't be happier.
Kevin has been terrific so far. Life outlook has certainly been better.
Mr. Thompson has been an amazing therapist. I have had some that are not so good at all but Kevin Thompson has given me a new faith for help. He is very light hearted and can joke even in tough conversations which makes me feel like a friend and not just another paycheck. I highly recommend!
Kevin always supportive and help me to resolve a lot of issue i have . I recommend him to you all .
Kevin is a very kind person and a great listener. He helped me a lot over the last two months in finding concrete action to take on some issues I had been dealing with for a long period of time. Highly recommended.
Kevin has been amazing so far. He has been very supportive and flexible to my needs.
Kevin is so understanding and very easy to talk to. He listens tentatively and has exceptional memory as remembers the smallest of things which you talk about in your sessions with him. For someone who never opens up to anyone easily, he works with you to gain confidence in order to trust him. 10/10 would recommend to a friend
I have only had a few sessions so far, but I feel heard and respected which is a refreshing change over other therapists that I've had in the past. I feel that he engages in active listening as well as critical thinking, and is not afraid to be blunt and direct which is something that I personally find beneficial. I feel hopeful and like I'm not necessarily spending my wheels as I have in the past.
He is an amazing listener and can tackle complicated situations and issues effectively. I highly recommend him!
He is friendly and it was easy to open up and talk about my issues to him!
Superb counselling and support. Well done.
