About Kevin
Kevin Hoops is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arizona with 24 years of experience. He helps people facing relationship struggles, trauma, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He also supports clients dealing with grief, anger, career questions, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and issues related to sexual identity and LGBT matters.
Kevin begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying strengths they may already have. He treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps that lead to clearer thinking and steadier emotions.
How Kevin works
Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what’s most important right now. His approach includes attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, and challenges connected to family of origin. He also addresses topics often left out of therapy like BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture with respect and directness.
Drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence, divorce, and separation are part of the range of problems he addresses. Kevin frames therapy as a collaborative process. He offers a mix of supportive conversation and goal-oriented work to help people move through stuck places.
He emphasizes practical tools people can try between sessions to build confidence and momentum. People who choose him can expect clear language, a patient pace, and a focus on usable change. He encourages clients to take the first step and brings steady experience to help guide that work.

Online support options
Approaches and online options that fit your life
Evidence-based techniques often focus on practical, skills-based work. One common approach is trauma-informed care which helps people process difficult experiences and reduce their impact on daily life through paced, supportive conversation. This method can be useful for those dealing with past abuse, ongoing trauma responses, or intense emotional reactions.Another approach emphasizes attachment and abandonment work, which looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. That work helps people recognize repeating cycles in relationships, improve communication, and build healthier connection habits. A third practical strand focuses on coping skills for anxiety, stress, and mood swings, offering tools to manage emotions between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier access to consistent care. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well for lower bandwidth or when being on camera is tiring. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or quick emotional grounding between full sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy going alongside work, family, and other commitments.
