01About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor who brings 30 years of experience to his work. He earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and counseling education from the University of Colorado in Denver in 1995. He has worked in agencies, independent practice, schools, and with community groups across career and personal development settings.
Over the years he has helped people with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions in the family, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and premarital concerns, and other personal struggles.
Background and approach
He also has experience with career counseling, team-building workshops, and presentations for community groups. His background includes work with high school and university students as well as clients seen in home settings. Kevin draws from a variety of therapeutic approaches rather than relying on a single method.
He mixes cognitive and behavioral techniques with client-centered ideas and narrative thinking to match each person’s needs. He avoids jargon and uses plain language, often offering analogies and a touch of humor to make difficult topics easier to talk about. In sessions he aims to build a respectful, accepting atmosphere where people can examine painful areas at a comfortable pace.
He describes the role of a therapist as a flashlight that helps search darker parts of life when the person is ready. That collaborative, paced style shapes how he plans work with each person. Kevin is licensed in Oklahoma and works in English.
He focuses on meeting people where they are and helping them find practical ways to cope, change patterns, and move forward.

How Kevin’s Methods Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and on clarifying personal values to guide action; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers acceptance and empathy so the person can explore choices and grow at their own pace.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kevin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques from these methods to match their situation. The process includes checking in and adjusting the plan as progress or challenges emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing helps people express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily routines while still using ACT, CBT, and client-centered ideas to guide the work.
