About Kevin

Kevin Kurtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, and related struggles. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are without judging their beliefs. Kevin aims to help clients grow toward the life they want by building awareness and practical skills.

He uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often involve learning new coping skills, practicing clearer communication, and making step-by-step plans to manage mood, cravings, or anger.

Background and approach

He also addresses grief, trauma, intimacy issues, and problems tied to life transitions. Kevin earned a bachelor’s degree in Christian Counseling Skills from Toccoa Falls College in 1997 and a master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2012. He has 13 years of experience and additional training in trauma work, addictions including sexual addiction, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy.

He has previously held certifications in Christian counseling, alcohol and drug counseling, and anger management. In sessions he keeps the focus practical and straightforward. Progress is built by small, achievable steps and ongoing feedback between therapist and client.

The aim is steady improvement in daily functioning and relationships rather than quick fixes. Kevin practices in Georgia and conducts work in English. He works with adults on issues such as mood disorders, communication problems, commitment and attachment struggles, and concerns around life purpose and midlife change.

How Kevin’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns back, helps people find their own answers, and supports change at each person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a team decision. Kevin will talk with the client about their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then recommend a mix of methods. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new issues emerge, keeping the work collaborative and flexible.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video and phone let conversations feel like an in-person session, while chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when a person needs more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life and to maintain steady contact while working toward long-term change.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
