About Kevin
Kevin trained at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. He worked three years in a private practice mental health agency and supported adults in a residential treatment setting as they moved from crisis toward more independent living. He now sees out-patient clients at a counseling agency in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
His style centers on the relationship between therapist and client. He uses a client-centered approach that looks for each person’s strengths. He pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Motivational interviewing may be used to support readiness for change.
Mindfulness practices are part of sessions when helpful for stress, anxiety, and anger. Kevin can also incorporate Christian-based perspectives when a client requests that. He aims to help people find balance and move toward a calmer, more manageable daily life.

Approaches used for online support and steps forward
Client-centered therapy focuses on the relationship and on recognizing each person's strengths. In sessions the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients name resources they already have. This approach is helpful when people want to feel heard and build confidence.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking and to build new behavioral habits, which can reduce anger and anxiety over time. Mindfulness practices add simple attention and breathing skills to manage stress and regain calm in difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients take an active role in choosing what helps them most.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the agency about what session arrangements best match your schedule and needs.
