More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW Years in Practice: 5 State: North Carolina

Hello! I am a therapist and clinical social worker in North Carolina with 5 years of experience in the field. I have previously worked with individuals in an inpatient long-term setting and with children and families to maintain family preservation. I have worked with clients experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting problems, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress.

I place a high emphasis on the importance of maintaining unconditional positive regard towards clients, as maintaining a strong working relationship can be critical towards addressing issues and making therapeutic gains. All individuals deserve to be heard and feel validation. From there, we can explore these difficult issues together and address negative feelings that cause hardship. I believe that solutions to our problems lie within all individuals, as each individual in the expert in their own life. My background lies in motivational interviewing, and cognitive and solution-focused therapies.

Asking for help takes a lot of strength and vulnerability. If you decide to move forward, I will be happy to assist you in reaching your goals!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online 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.

This has helped normalize some of my thoughts about issues. His willingness to show true interest and go beyond my expectations really has instilled greater trust in him.

First time trying therapy, Kevin has made the process very easy and makes me feel heard. He has been a tremendous help and I look forward to our sessions.

Kevin is the best! He is extremely supportive, genuine, and present! Kevin is flexible and understanding. You can see the integration of clinical acumen into his genuine self, making him the best kind of clinician. He provides feedback and homework relevant to your concerns, which is important. I've had my share of clinicians, but Kevin is the quintessential competent, compassionate, and caring clinician.

Kevin really helped me see outside of the box and think about things in a whole new way. I highly recommend Kevin.

I have found a person that listens and helps. Going through a dark time in my life I reached out to get help. Unfortunately things happen that made it worse right after I started therapy. I am still struggling but I feel with Kevins help I have the support I need . Thank you

Kevin has been instrumental in helping me through an adult child’s overdose . He’s help me keep my place in life - supportive and loving. We’ve had some major changes at work - and Kevin’s also been helpful in guiding me through some tough moments with an unreasonable new boss . Highly recommend him .

Kevin has really helped me recover from a very difficult emotional situation. I feel as though I had been in the middle of a complete emotional breakdown and now am feeling much more level, even though things are still difficult in my personal life. I would definitely highly recommend him to others needing help.

When I thought I’ve completely hit rock bottom, Kevin was there to help me immediately. It’s extremely important to me to have a therapist that listens to me and gives feedback at the appropriate times. He has also offered to help me in between appointments if I am in need of anything. I like that I’m able to send a quick message via BetterHelp if I need something from Kevin. I highly recommend him. You won’t be disappointed.

Kevin has been a really wonderful counselor. I love my sessions with him and we've hit a stride in figuring out how to help me navigate situations I was previously struggling with. Kevin is an honest, empathic therapist.

He’s a very understanding and supportive person. He doesn’t just try to throw you into your trauma, instead he listens to your concerns and takes everything at your pace so you’re comfortable. I have absolutely loved having him as a therapist

I have a lot going on in my life and never really trust anyone but Kevin has gotten me to open up more then I ever thought I could And I am happy to have him as my therapist

Kevin Stroud was great. Even though I wasn't the most responsive patient. He always seemed to want to help and cared.
