About Kevin

Kevin Cooksey is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a decade of clinical experience based in South Carolina.

Background and approach

He earned a Bachelor of Science in Research Psychology with a minor in Conflict Resolution and a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and he continues professional development while working toward a Ph.D. His background includes training in trauma-focused care and specialized assessment work with couples, which inform his approach to relationship and personal challenges.

Kevin blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a client-centered mindset, tailoring sessions to the specific concerns presented. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to address symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and anger, while applying the Gottman Method and solution-focused work for relationship and communication issues.

His practice also includes attention to trauma, grief, parenting concerns, career and life transitions, and ADHD-related struggles. Clients can expect a collaborative, goal-oriented style that emphasizes skills training and coping strategies alongside exploration of underlying patterns.

Kevin offers a range of session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules and maintains active involvement in professional organizations related to marriage and family therapy and Christian counseling.

Approaches That Guide Online Work and Growth



Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaching practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. The Gottman Method emphasizes improving communication, rebuilding trust, and strengthening relationship skills through structured interventions and exercises that couples can practice between sessions.

He also draws on client-centered principles, which prioritize the client's perspective and work collaboratively to clarify goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist partners with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and comfort level rather than prescribing a single route up front.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver interactive skill building, relational exercises, and short coaching-style check-ins while accommodating different communication preferences and day-to-day demands.
