About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of clinical work, holding a master’s degree in counseling psychology and counseling education from the University of Colorado Denver.
Background and approach
Over his 30 years of practice he has supported people across community, school, university, agency, corporate, and independent practice settings, offering individual and group work as well as workshops on career development, personality types, and team building.
He draws from a broad counseling toolbox that includes cognitive and behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment principles, emotionally-focused techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. His style emphasizes practical language over jargon, a touch of humor when appropriate, and use of analogy to clarify change processes.
Kevin has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting and family dynamics, bipolar challenges, ADHD, career difficulties, and coping with life transitions.
Licensed in Oklahoma (OK LPC LPC04473), he frames therapy as a collaborative exploration and describes the therapist’s role as a guiding light, moving at the client’s pace and helping them examine the areas that matter most.
Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and many everyday coping challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, build psychological flexibility, and practice mindful acceptance of difficult internal experiences while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and meeting a person where they are so the therapeutic relationship itself fosters growth and self-understanding.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques from these methods to fit the person’s needs, testing what works and adjusting as the work unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and at different times. These formats can make it easier to keep continuity in care around busy schedules, to check in between sessions, and to use communication styles that feel most comfortable while working on the issues that brought someone to therapy.
