About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a master's degree in counseling psychology and counseling education from the University of Colorado Denver. With more than 30 years of clinical experience, he has provided services in agencies, independent practice, schools, universities, workplaces, and in clients' homes.
Background and approach
Over his career he has addressed a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addictions, relationship and premarital issues, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Kevin developed a flexible, individualized approach early in his training and draws from cognitive, behavioral, narrative, and emotionally focused methods to build a tailored plan for each person. He favors clear, plain language over jargon and often uses analogy and gentle humor to create a comfortable atmosphere where people can explore difficult material at their own pace.
Licensed in Oklahoma, he combines practical career and teambuilding experience with direct clinical work to help clients examine present struggles and plan for meaningful change. Clients can expect a collaborative stance: Kevin aims to be a steady guide who helps illuminate the harder-to-see parts of life while respecting readiness and timing.
He invites prospective clients to start when they feel prepared to explore and to use a gradual, pragmatic path toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches for remote care and flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, emphasizing values-based action to move toward a meaningful life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors using practical strategies and skill-building, which often helps with anxiety, insomnia, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and intimacy, making it a good fit for couples or individuals working on relational patterns.
Deciding which approach fits best is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each client to clarify goals, preferences, and needs, and then adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and relevant. Clients are invited to try strategies and reflect on what helps most so treatment evolves with their progress.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapy, offer timely check-ins, and support continuity of care while accommodating different communication preferences and lifestyles.
