More about Kevin

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the states of Wisconsin and Minnesota. My graduate school training was from Winona State University in Winona, MN. I worked in a private practice mental health agency there in Winona for three years, in addition to serving in a residential treatment facility assisting adults in recovery from mental health crises back to independent living. I am currently meeting with out-patient clients in a new counseling agency in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

I have worked with people from all walks of life facing difficult and unexpected challenges, causing a variety of mental health issues. I work with a Person-Centered approach and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, along with Strength-Based modalities. I like to identify strengths in people and help them grow. The therapeutic relationship between client and counselor offers a strong foundation to assist clients in recovering balance in life and the freedom to move ahead on a more peaceful journey. I know life can be rough at times, but with help, it can also be better!

Some may be desiring a Christian-based therapy, and that is also an option we can incorporate.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kevin provided a listening ear and great tools for dealing with some of the things I had experienced and wanted to work through. His ability to give ma lot of great tools to help me move forward from a situation, encouraged me and helped me from the first meeting with him. It's empowering when you have tools, especially Biblical principals that line up with my beliefs and values, to know that you can be released from the trauma you have experienced. It's already made a difference in my day to day life!

Kevin is kind, compassionate & is an active listener and I enjoy how we navigate our sessions. I like & respect how he is truly interested in who I am & WHY I'm reaching out for help---to dig deeper & confront issues. I've had very expensive, out-of-pocket therapists who sit & only nod; nothing resolved or even touched on. I was losing hope until Betterhelp matched me with my connector, my confidant. Thank you!

Kevin is truly a great person in all ways and areas I have been in contact with him. He respects my views, my ideas, and anything I throw his way. He really makes me feel as though I am respected and HEARD. Having that in a therapist is the biggest thing I can say. I attribute all the recent progress I have made in my personal life and mental health to his great guidance. Thank you, Kevin!

Kevin always provides me with tools and ways to help myself when a situation arises in my life. That way I'm prepared and can apply that to my life when those situations arise. These tools and advice have stuck with me over the years so his therapy has helped me so much in the long run. Kevin is non judgemental and makes sure I have a solution before therapy ends. I can tell he truly cares about me as a person. He has been a great cheerleader l through even small successes and will listen to me cry when I'm down but he always lifts me up before the session is over. Thank you Kevin, you are so very appreciated.
