About Kenneth
Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with three years of clinical experience. Kenneth O'Hearn focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression. He draws on a long pre-therapy career in emergency response and military service to inform his approach to crisis and stress-related problems.
Kenneth spent 25 years as a board-certified paramedic working on scenes where trauma, substance use, and acute mental-health struggles were common. He also served 10 years in the United States Air Force and saw how prolonged stress and high-pressure roles affect people over time. Those experiences shape how he listens and responds in sessions.
He helps people work through addiction recovery, trauma, and symptoms related to mood disorders. He also addresses anger management, panic, dissociation, attachment issues, and concerns like guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. Veteran and first responder issues are listed among his areas of focus based on his background.
Kenneth approaches therapy as a collaboration. He treats the person’s story and current problems as the starting point and looks for strengths the person already has. Sessions aim to identify practical steps people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Evidence-based approaches and how they fit into online care
Two evidence-based therapeutic techniques often used for the issues listed are trauma-focused work and behavioral interventions. Trauma-focused work means addressing distress from past events through structured conversation and grounding strategies to reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Behavioral interventions focus on changing patterns of action and thought that maintain problems like addiction, anger, panic, and depressive episodes.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review the person’s history, current challenges, and goals and then suggest which techniques to try first. Sessions can be adjusted over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable for the client.
Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let people use video or audio options depending on comfort and bandwidth, which helps match sessions to everyday life without promising a particular format.
