Kevin is somehow super professional and really laid back at the same time. I always appreciate his ability to bring new perspectives and ideas. It's that one hour a week with Kevin where the craziness of life doesn't hit so hard

More about Kevin
- 5 years' experience
- Male
- LPC
I am licensed in Pennsylvania with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & bipolar disorder. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have most of my experience working in partial hospital settings, working with people with significant mental illness as well as a couple years of experience working in individual outpatient settings, and I have extensive experience working with people who have been diagnosed with personality disorders.
My approach to counseling assumes that you are the expert in your life and that the symptoms that you experience are due to the challenges of life. The diagnosis is not as important as what contributes to how you feel and what we can work on together so that managing those stressors can be easier. I have a relaxed approach to counseling and try to learn as much about you, your background, and the issues that cause you to seek help. It is important for me to try to gain perspective of the issues as you see them so that I can provide the most relevant help I can.
Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am here to help. I am happy to answer any questions you may have before beginning work.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very knowledgeable and helps with coping mechanisms
great so far!!!
Kevin has been great so far. He listens to what I have to say he and he offers thoughtful advice without being judgmental. I always get the impression that he’s engaged and paying attention. I think our sessions will wind up being very helpful.
Kevin has shown me ways to understand my problems and take steps into correcting them in the best of his ability and i myself have seen positive results and so has my close friends. My life has made a 180 with his help and experience. Strongly recommend.
So far, Kevin has been a fantastic source of insight- he’s very in tune with me and is beyond understanding
Kevin is a really great therapist. I feel like he understands me without judging me and has given me lots of tools to combat my issues.
Overall I had a great experience with Kevin
Thanks for all the help and support
