About Ken

Ken Crumpton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 24 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. Ken approaches sessions in a down-to-earth way and aims to help people find practical steps forward when things feel overwhelming.

He starts by listening and treating the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small, achievable changes.

Background and approach

Ken combines talking through concerns with strategies you can use between meetings. His background includes many years helping adults and teens with mood concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and adjustment after loss. He also has experience with family problems, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and relationship challenges such as infidelity and non-monogamous arrangements.

Ken uses several approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Motivational Interviewing to support change. He also uses Internal Family Systems when it helps to understand different parts of a person’s inner experience.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided through online formats. Ken aims to help clients move toward better coping, clearer priorities, and more manageable daily life.

Practical approaches for online family and life concerns

Ken uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can tell their story and be heard. This approach focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients identify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors and to build specific skills for managing anxiety, low mood, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ken collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean leaning into CBT for immediate coping tools, using Client-Centered methods to process feelings, or blending techniques as the relationship develops.

Online sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options can fit busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or shorter check-ins between longer sessions. The range of formats helps people access consistent support without adding extra travel or time commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
