About Kevin
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin and Minnesota with four years of experience, Kevin Knack helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life changes. He also pays attention to aging and geriatric issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, intellectual disability, OCD and social anxiety concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and he practices from Wisconsin.
Kevin trained at Winona State University and worked several years in outpatient and residential settings. He spent three years in a private practice mental health agency and supported adults returning to independent living after mental health crises. He currently sees out-patient clients in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
His working style centers on client-centered methods and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. He looks for existing strengths and practical ways to build on them. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on improving everyday coping.
Kevin also uses mindfulness techniques to help with moment-to-moment stress and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and encourage change. He can include Christian-based perspectives when a client requests that approach.
People who choose his approach can expect a focus on problem solving, skill practice, and attention to what the person already does well. He aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on concrete changes that fit daily life.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person’s concerns. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s priorities, reflects what is said, and builds on the person's strengths to solve current problems. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and general distress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety. It breaks problems into specific patterns and offers practical exercises to change those patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD, and stress-related issues.
Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing habits to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping. It can be helpful for managing anger, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings by creating brief, repeatable practices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s preferences, and adjust strategies based on how the client responds. This is a collaborative process aimed at what helps in daily life.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how to shape sessions so they fit your routine and goals.
