About Kevin

Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of clinical experience. He earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and counseling education from the University of Colorado in Denver and has practiced in agencies, colleges, businesses, and personal settings. Kevin brings a steady, down-to-earth presence to sessions and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.

He has worked with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

Background and approach

Kevin also supports those coping with career questions, parenting stress, sleeping and eating difficulties, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, and ADHD. He has provided workshops for high school and university students, led team-building in workplaces, and offered career counseling and personality-focused presentations to community groups. Kevin describes his approach as flexible rather than tied to one model.

He draws from cognitive and behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, acceptance work, motivational interviewing, and narrative methods. He avoids jargon and favors plain language, grounded examples, and helpful analogies to make concepts stick. Humor and warmth appear in his style, and he aims to create a space where people feel accepted despite their flaws.

He compares good therapy to a flashlight that helps explore darker areas, and he proceeds at a pace people find comfortable. Kevin currently holds an Oklahoma LPC and provides services from that region. People who want clear, practical conversations about life changes, relationships, or attention and focus concerns may find his style a good fit.

He invites a collaborative search for what matters and what helps, working step by step alongside the person in therapy.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and reflects back what matters to the client, which can help people feel understood and build self-direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kevin will work with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, switching or blending techniques as needed. He aims to make concepts clear and useful rather than relying on jargon, so clients can test what helps most for their daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can be lower bandwidth and easier on the go, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to try different ways of communicating until the best fit is found.
