About Kevin
Kevin uses a straightforward, person-centered style. He focuses on identifying a person's strengths and building on them. Sessions are practical and aimed at helping someone find more balance and calm in daily life.
He earned his graduate training at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota. Kevin spent time working in a private practice mental health agency and in a residential treatment setting, helping adults move from crisis toward more independent living.
Currently he meets with out-patient clients at a counseling agency in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His background includes four years of clinical experience across agency and residential settings. He brings that experience into short-term and longer-term work depending on what a person needs.
Kevin can include Christian-informed perspectives when a person prefers that approach. He combines person-centered listening with cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to help people set practical goals and try new skills.

Step 3
Approaches used in online therapy and how they help
Kevin uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where people can talk through what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs listening, validation, and space to figure out goals. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying specific behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or compulsive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kevin will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with person-centered conversations, then adding CBT tools or mindfulness practices if those seem useful.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, avoid travel time, use shorter check-ins if needed, or choose a session style that matches comfort with cameras and bandwidth. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions so progress can continue between appointments.
