About Kenneth

Kenneth Winter is an LMHC practicing in Florida who brings five years of clinical experience to his work with individuals and families. He combines professional roles in behavioral health, residential treatment, foster care settings, and teaching to inform a practical, strengths-based approach.

Background and approach

His background includes work as a case manager, family consultant therapist, behavioral health specialist, and volunteer guardian ad litem, along with experience in drug and alcohol rehabilitation and juvenile services.

He draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to support change in areas like addiction, trauma, parenting, depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns. Kenneth emphasizes helping clients build resilience, adaptability, and self-worth while using problem-solving and motivational strategies to encourage forward movement.

Outside clinical roles he has taught psychology, led seminars on depression, anxiety, and family topics, and holds certification as a Money Mentor. He frames therapy as a collaborative journey aimed at practical growth and emotional balance.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Kenneth integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as core elements of his online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and improve daily functioning. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help clients manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenneth works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and the issues they want to address, then recommends strategies and techniques from these modalities to fit the client's needs. This shared decision-making helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and actionable.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access therapy from home or other convenient locations, maintain continuity of care during busy periods, and use shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful.
