About Kevin

Kevin Wilbanks is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people regain a sense of control and well-being when stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, anger, trauma, or family conflict feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

He aims to collaborate with clients to move from where they are toward where they want to be, emphasizing a trusting therapeutic relationship built on listening, dependability, and honest feedback. With 32 years of experience and credentials as an LCPC and LPC, he draws on practical strategies to teach new approaches for solving persistent problems.

Kevin helps clients calm body and mind, identify how past experiences shape present patterns, and shift self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors to more reality-based alternatives. He integrates techniques that support emotion regulation, clearer communication, and better decision making so clients can address issues such as grief, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and other life transitions.

Clients can expect a collaborative process where insight and skill-building go hand in hand. Kevin pairs empathic listening with evidence-informed tools to help people get unstuck, repair relationships, and pursue the goals that matter to them.

Applying proven approaches to online therapy

Kevin commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based techniques in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging patterns by teaching practical coping and problem-solving skills. Attachment-based therapy explores how early relational experiences influence current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication so they can build healthier connections.

Determining the best approach is part of the collaborative process. He will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor interventions that combine insight with skill-building. The goal is to find methods that feel useful and sustainable for each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to schedule care around work, family, or travel. These formats support consistent progress by making it easier to attend sessions and practice therapeutic skills between meetings, while still receiving guidance from licensed professionals.
