About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 30 years of experience. He trained at the University of Colorado in Denver, finishing a master’s degree in counseling psychology and counseling education in 1995. He brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and uses plain language so people can follow along easily.
He has worked in schools, universities, agencies, and independent practice. That background includes leading workshops, offering career counseling, and running teambuilding sessions for companies.
How Kevin works
More recently he has met people in their homes to address a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, addictions, and family issues. Kevin describes his approach as practical and flexible. He keeps a mix of cognitive, behavioral, and narrative tools in his counseling toolbox.
He aims to avoid jargon and prefers clear analogies that make hard topics easier to talk about. Humor and acceptance are part of his style. He believes it helps when people can laugh at themselves and still feel supported.
He says therapy should move at a person’s pace - he will explore difficult areas only when the person feels ready. Clients can expect someone who listens, offers perspective, and helps map steps forward. He draws on established methods to address stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, addiction issues, and life transitions.
Kevin looks forward to working alongside people as they sort things out.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can find their own solutions; it supports self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating issues.Kevin will work with each person to find the best fit among these approaches. He treats choosing methods as a collaborative process, tailoring techniques to the person’s goals, comfort level, and daily life rather than imposing a single model.
Online sessions make regular work possible without long travel or schedule disruptions. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be used when a camera is not needed or bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family, or other obligations.
