Kevin Schmidt, LCSW

Kevin Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and life changes. He draws on a decade of clinical experience to offer steady, straightforward support when things feel overwhelming. He keeps language simple and meetings focused on practical next steps. Kevin presents as laid back, honest, and reliable, and he encourages the first step of reaching out.

Kevin blends a client-centered way of working with cognitive behavioral techniques. He starts by listening to the whole story and then helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior that make problems worse. Sessions often include clear, doable exercises to try between meetings so progress continues outside the room.

People come to him for help with impulse control and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive sexual behavior, as well as more general struggles like low mood, shame, or post-traumatic stress. He also supports concerns around sexuality, sexual dysfunction, and intimacy. Kevin emphasizes strengths and practical changes rather than lengthy theory discussions.

He has ten years of experience as a clinician and uses the LCSW credential in his practice. Kevin aims to create a calm, honest space where people can talk through hard things and leave with an action plan. He encourages anyone worried about addiction or mood to consider an initial match and see if the approach fits.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to Kevin’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online work

Kevin combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarity about goals. CBT looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings, and it provides clear exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person’s goals, comfort level, and everyday routine. The therapist and client check progress together and adjust techniques as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins between other responsibilities. Some formats require less bandwidth or camera use and can be helpful for shorter check-ins or when a quieter setup is easier. Licensed professionals can adapt both client-centered conversations and CBT exercises to work well in remote sessions.
