Kevin Sockwell, MD, LCPC - Therapist in Maryland

About Kevin

Kevin Sockwell is a licensed clinician in Maryland with 32 years of experience. He holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, license number LC3266. He focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and parenting concerns.

He aims to make the first step less daunting and to support clients as they work toward clearer goals. Kevin uses straightforward, conversational sessions. He listens without judgment and invites clients to talk about what matters most.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on concrete steps and strategies that people can try between meetings. He blends proven techniques with attention to each person’s story. His work draws from several established approaches, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness.

That means he pays attention to clients’ values, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and practices simple awareness skills that reduce reactivity. He also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when they fit the situation. Kevin often helps people address issues around self-esteem, family problems, and substance use.

He also supports those dealing with grief, life transitions, obsessive worries, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions tend to be direct, respectful, and focused on the next practical step. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through multiple online formats.

The process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits the client’s needs. Kevin aims to make therapy manageable for people balancing busy family lives.

Approaches and online options for practical parenting and life work

Kevin integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on deep listening and respect for each person’s perspective, which helps build trust and clarify goals. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward techniques to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into daily life to reduce reactivity and increase calm.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. The aim is to find practical tools that feel useful for your family life and personal routines.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible from home. These formats allow flexible scheduling around caregiving and work. They also let people use short check-ins or longer conversations depending on what is needed at the time.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
