About Kevin
Kevin Sockwell brings 32 years of clinical experience to his practice in Maryland, blending medical training with licensed counseling skills. As an MD and LCPC he focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
His background also includes work with ADHD, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, and coping with major life changes. He emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore thoughts and emotions openly.
Sessions commonly draw on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help people identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and build practical skills. Motivational interviewing and narrative approaches are also part of his toolkit for fostering change and meaning-making.
Kevin aims to support those taking initial steps toward greater wellbeing, offering a steady, experienced presence as clients set goals and try out new ways of coping. He provides services in English and offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Kevin often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and experiment with practical skills that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change problematic behaviors. He also employs client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal setting to support personal insight and self-directed growth.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kevin works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means treatment is tailored over time, combining strategies and adjusting techniques as progress unfolds in partnership with the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, access support from home, and select the format that best matches the kind of interaction a person prefers.
