About Kevin

Dr. Kevin Keating is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, career pressure, and parenting concerns.

He also addresses intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Kevin listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person. He adapts his approach so sessions match a client's needs and goals.

Conversations are straightforward and geared toward useful steps rather than jargon.

Background and approach

He blends practical techniques with deeper reflection. That mix can include working on thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values, and telling the story of what brought someone here. The aim is clearer choices and more manageable day-to-day living.

Kevin draws on several therapy styles including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. He explains methods in plain language and decides together with the client which tools to try. Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Dr. Keating practices in Florida as a Florida LMHC MH1378 and has worked with a wide range of concerns across 15 years of practice.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and committing to actions that align with what matters, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses clear, step-by-step techniques to change patterns that keep problems going, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and tailors methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences so therapy feels collaborative and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep regular appointments, try short check-ins, or work around busy family and work demands. The variety of options supports ongoing progress while matching how a person prefers to communicate.

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.
