About Kevin

Kevin McGarvey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He has worked extensively in partial hospital programs and outpatient settings, gaining significant exposure to serious mental health concerns including personality disorders, bipolar conditions, trauma, and anxiety.

Background and approach

Kevin frames his work around respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he adapts conversations and care plans to each person's unique circumstances. Kevin approaches therapy from the perspective that clients are experts in their own lives, and that symptoms often arise from life challenges rather than labels alone.

He uses a relaxed, collaborative stance to learn about a client's background and the specific problems that brought them to therapy, so his interventions can be relevant and practical. Kevin emphasizes reducing stressors and building tools for managing emotions such as anger, grief, sleep difficulties, and attention-related struggles like ADHD.

He invites prospective clients to ask questions before beginning and acknowledges that seeking help can be courageous. Kevin aims to create a supportive environment where clients and therapist work together to identify goals and tailor strategies that fit each person’s needs.

Approaches that translate to online care

Kevin integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered techniques into remote work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, panic, and depressive thoughts, and it often includes practical skill-building exercises that can be done between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist listens closely to understand the client’s perspective and supports the client in finding their own solutions to life challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the particular problems they want to address, and then adapt methods over time so the plan remains responsive to progress and changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility constraints while still engaging in structured therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
