Kevin Kurtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and grief. He focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of balance. He meets clients without bias toward their beliefs and works to help them move toward the life they want.

He draws on 13 years of counseling experience and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. He also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Christian Counseling Skills from Toccoa Falls College. His background includes work with substance and behavioral addictions, anger management, trauma, and mindfulness techniques.

In sessions he uses an eclectic style that centers the client’s goals. He applies client-centered principles to listen closely and reflect what matters most. He incorporates cognitive behavioral tools to help people change patterns of thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation when those approaches fit.

He also uses elements of emotionally-focused and Gottman approaches for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Expect a practical focus - identifying patterns, trying new skills between sessions, and checking progress together. He encourages steady, achievable steps rather than sudden overhauls.

Kevin aims to be understanding and direct. He helps people clarify what they want, set realistic goals, and build routines that support mental health. If you are ready to take a step, he offers guided support to work toward a healthier balance in daily life.

How Kevin’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people build confidence to try new behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions affect emotions and teaches specific skills to change patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or addictive behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - useful for managing intense feelings and reducing harmful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kevin will discuss options and help decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
