About Kevin
Kevin Brugman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people handle stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. He brings a calm, straightforward presence and acknowledges that reaching out can feel hard. Sessions focus on practical steps to ease overwhelming feelings and build everyday coping skills.
He uses clear, goal-oriented work rooted in mindfulness and cognitive techniques. That means noticing how thoughts shape feelings, practicing small changes, and trying new ways of responding.
Background and approach
He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people make choices that match their values. Kevin trained in marriage and family counseling and has worked in counseling since 2005, giving him sixteen years of experience. He moved to Texas in 2009 and maintains a steady, respectful manner in sessions.
His LPC credential speaks to his state licensure in Texas. In practical terms, sessions involve listening, reflecting, and setting doable steps between meetings. He addresses a wide range of concerns including parenting, intimacy-related issues, family matters, ADHD, anger, career shifts, and self-esteem.
He also works with issues such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood questions. People can expect a mix of empathy and direct problem-solving. Kevin aims to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, try alternatives, and strengthen what already works in their lives.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How his approach shapes online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and questions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and on building concrete skills to change feelings and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens and reflects so clients can find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals, preferences, and situation. That can mean trying one approach for a while, then adapting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people fit sessions around work, school, and family life and keep progress moving between in-person commitments. The variety of formats also allows different ways to practice skills and stay connected to a licensed professional over time.
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.
