About Kevin

Kevin White is a licensed therapist who works with people facing stress and relationship or family struggles. He helps parents and adults untangle anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and the ripple effects of trauma. Kevin is clear and direct in sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings.

He draws on 23 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor - LMHC and LPCC - and practices in New York.

Background and approach

His work often includes concerns like divorce and separation, codependency, infidelity, jealousy, and issues tied to midlife transitions. He also addresses career questions and searches for life purpose. Kevin uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs.

He leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness to calm stress, and the Gottman Method when relationship skills and communication are a focus. He also brings EMDR for people processing trauma and abuse. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.

He listens first, then helps set small goals and concrete skills to practice. Many clients move from feeling stuck to having clearer choices and better ways to talk with family or partners. Kevin emphasizes self-understanding, forgiveness, and rebuilding after major life changes.

His style is steady and compassionate, focused on helping people make realistic changes that fit their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, offers a structured way to work through traumatic memories and the emotions tied to them.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kevin will ask about your goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest methods that fit your situation. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. These options provide flexibility for parents or working adults who need different ways to connect. The formats let licensed professionals offer skill coaching, guided exercises, and regular check-ins without requiring travel, so therapy can continue even when life is hectic.

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.

EMDR

A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
