About Kevin

Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC, welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or pushed to the limit. He supports those dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship trouble, parenting strain, anger, trauma, and related challenges. He aims to create a steady, listening relationship where people can feel heard and begin to make practical changes.

Kevin describes therapy as a collaborative process. He uses clear, hands-on techniques to help people calm their bodies and minds. He helps clients notice how past experiences shape current choices and then practice different thoughts and behaviors that lead to healthier outcomes.

With more than three decades of experience, Kevin draws on several well-known counseling approaches to match the needs of the person in front of him. He teaches skills for emotional regulation, works on attachment and relationship patterns, and offers thought-based strategies for changing unhelpful self-talk.

He has provided counseling in many settings, including work supporting the United States Armed Forces. He also has administrative experience running a counseling agency and working in rural clinics, giving him familiarity with varied life situations and practical constraints.

Outside of clinical work, Kevin enjoys playing drums and percussion, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading. He brings a straightforward, steady presence to sessions and focuses on helping people move from where they are to where they want to be.

How Kevin's methods translate to online work

Kevin often uses Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present patterns and helps people build more secure ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and collaboration so the client leads the pace and goals of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods that match the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people meet from locations that work for their schedule. These practical benefits help many people keep consistent work toward their goals while balancing daily responsibilities.
