Kevin Herbert, LPC

Kevin Herbert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 18 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes. He also offers coaching to help clients set goals and make practical changes.

He works with a broad range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, blended family stress, fatherhood issues, and challenges related to chronic illness or cancer. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among his focus areas and he can address caregiver stress and related concerns. He has experience with veterans and first responders and with people juggling health and life demands.

Kevin uses approaches such as hypnotherapy, mindfulness therapy, and somatic therapy. In sessions he helps people notice body-based signals, try mindful practices, and use guided imagery or focused relaxation when appropriate. He aims for straightforward, practical steps people can try between meetings.

His style is calm and respectful. He helps clients name what’s most urgent and then create short-term plans that feel doable. Sessions often include skill practice, breathing or grounding techniques, and conversational work to rethink unhelpful patterns.

To begin, Kevin asks people to share what they hope to change and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. From there he and the client set small goals and track progress so therapy stays focused and relevant.

Approaches that include body work and mindful practice

Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people shift unhelpful patterns and reduce stress symptoms. It can be useful for anxiety, grief reactions, and changing day-to-day habits by pairing imagery with intention.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase clarity. These skills help with anxiety, coping during life transitions, and improving emotional awareness.

Somatic therapy pays attention to body sensations and movement as part of healing. It supports people managing chronic pain, trauma-related tension, and stress that shows up physically.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made collaboratively and can change as needs shift.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand them or let someone choose a quieter setting to focus. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work and help clients practice techniques between meetings.
