About Kennan
Kennan DeWitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. He offers calm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, or life changes. He affirms LGBT clients and creates a nonjudgmental space to talk.
With 16 years of experience, Kennan combines practical tools and straightforward conversation. He uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people commit to values-based actions when emotions feel big.
How Kennan works
Narrative and client-centered approaches shape much of his work. He helps people tell their stories differently so difficult experiences have less power over everyday life. Sessions focus on realistic steps - small changes that fit each person's goals and situation.
Kennan has experience helping people with parenting stress, relationship problems, caregiver strain, and issues that come with aging. He also helps those dealing with bipolar disorder, disruptive mood patterns, impulsivity, shame or guilt, and isolation. He adapts his methods to what each person needs rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Practical concerns such as court-related therapy, addiction recovery, and forgiveness work are part of his background. He encourages clients to set clear goals and measures progress together. If someone wants steady, compassionate support and direct tools to manage daily struggles, Kennan focuses on reachable steps toward a more manageable life.

Online support options
How approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, or coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing centers on building a person's own motivation to change, which often helps with addictions and ambivalence about big decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kennan will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals and what feels useful in sessions. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting course when something doesn't fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, and flexibility when scheduling is tight. These options make therapy easier to fit into daily life while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
