About Kennan

Kennan DeWitt is a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 16 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, and parenting concerns. He offers an accepting, nonjudgmental space and affirms LGBTQ+ clients.

Kennan uses practical, goal-oriented methods and adapts them to each person’s needs. He helps clients talk through specific problems like anger, trauma, or court-related substance issues. Sessions emphasize clear steps, coping skills, and building personal strengths.

Background and approach

His background includes long experience in clinical settings and work with people navigating life changes such as separation or midlife transitions. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with motivational tools to address unhelpful patterns and increase motivation for change. Kennan often incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and narrative approaches to help people clarify values and make meaningful shifts.

He also uses client-centered techniques to create a respectful environment where people can speak openly. Therapy with him typically focuses on practical strategies for daily life and managing symptoms, along with conversations about goals and forward steps. He aims to support people as they build routines, improve communication, and regain a sense of control.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, empathetic space where the therapist listens closely and helps the person find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kennan works with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift, and the therapist checks in regularly to make adjustments.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiving or work demands, and keep momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach coping skills, review progress, and plan practical next steps.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
