About Kevin
Kevin Wurtz is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 22 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, ADHD, relationship and family conflicts, and related life changes.
Background and approach
He emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate care while addressing concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy, parenting, career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Kevin also works with issues like infidelity, communication problems, blended family dynamics, and substance use concerns.
His style blends practical evidence-based approaches with a collaborative, individualized treatment plan. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, draws on mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, and applies motivational interviewing techniques to support change when clients feel uncertain.
Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and paced to fit their readiness for change, with an emphasis on clear communication and gradual skill-building. Kevin seeks to create a space where taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life feels possible.
He pairs decades of experience with a pragmatic, compassionate stance to help clients navigate transitions, heal from past wounds, and develop strategies that support long-term well-being.
Integrating Practical Approaches with Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many relationship or work-related difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and skills to reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation, which can be helpful for anxiety, grief, and compassion fatigue. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who feel ambivalent about change by exploring values and enhancing internal motivation to take steps toward goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative - the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over time the plan may shift, combining skills training, focused problem-solving, and motivational work so clients can move at a comfortable pace while progressing toward meaningful change.
Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care across life's changes. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines while still accessing licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed methods.
