About Kevin

Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with three decades of hands-on experience. He began his training at the University of Colorado in Denver, finishing a master’s degree in counseling psychology and counseling education in 1995. He has worked in agencies and independent practice and has supported people in many settings over the years.

Kevin has spent time helping high school students with personal and career growth and running workshops for non-traditional university students.

Background and approach

He has led team-building sessions for businesses and given personality type presentations to community groups. He has also provided career counseling and developed practical workshops for organizations.

More recently he has met clients in their homes to help with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, anger, addictions in the family, low self-esteem, family of origin issues, premarital and marital concerns, and other life struggles. He draws on a broad set of techniques that include cognitive and behavioral approaches and attention to past, present, and future concerns.

His style is down-to-earth and often uses analogy and light humor to make difficult topics easier to talk about. He aims to create a calm atmosphere where people can face hard things at their own pace. He describes a therapist as a flashlight - someone who helps explore darker areas when the person is ready.

Kevin works from Oklahoma and conducts work that emphasizes practical problem solving and emotional understanding. He says he looks forward to searching with you and supporting steps toward clearer thinking and healthier responses.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape important connections and responses. It can be useful when emotion gets in the way of close relationships or when someone needs help understanding what their feelings are signaling.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action toward chosen values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and persistent unhelpful thinking patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and listening rather than directing. This approach helps people feel heard and better able to decide what matters to them.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose or adapt approaches so sessions match the person’s needs and pace.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and body language, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work when in-person visits aren’t practical.
