About Kevin

Kevin Sockwell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland with 32 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, relationships, family concerns, grief, parenting, and coping with life changes. He uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness techniques.

Kevin builds straightforward sessions that let people talk about what matters. He listens without judgment and keeps conversations practical. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small steps toward coping and behavior change.

His background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through addiction and trauma. He also helps with communication problems, family of origin issues, and the stress that comes with midlife change. This experience shapes the way he structures sessions and sets goals.

Kevin draws on several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Client-Centered Therapy guides a respectful, person-led pace. Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.

Sessions often include practical tools for everyday life - breathing or grounding exercises, behavior experiments, and clear homework when useful. He also integrates motivational interviewing for people working on substance use and other behavior changes.

People who choose him can expect direct, easy-to-follow conversations and a focus on skills that fit daily life. Before booking, confirm the current session formats and scheduling details with the provider.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In practice this means sessions concentrate on what the client wants to discuss and proceed at a comfortable pace. This approach is often used for issues like self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. Online work with CBT can include simple behavioral experiments, thought records, and action plans to practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to reduce reactivity and increase moment-to-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the first conversations. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and day-to-day constraints, and then try approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs evolve.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking. If you plan to fit therapy into a busy week, online sessions can make it easier to schedule around work, school, or caregiving. They also allow for shorter check-ins or phone options when less bandwidth or a quicker session is helpful. Discuss practical scheduling and format choices with the therapist when you set up the first session.
