About Kevin
Kevin Wilbanks is a licensed counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy practical for busy families. Kevin emphasizes a dependable, non-judgmental relationship where people can feel heard and start making different choices.
He invites straightforward collaboration to move from where someone is now to where they want to be. Kevin draws on 32 years of clinical experience and holds the credentials LCPC and LPC.
Background and approach
He uses clear, hands-on techniques to help people calm the body and mind, think through choices, and change unhelpful self-talk. Sessions often involve learning new ways to solve old problems and practicing behavioral skills to handle life’s demands. He pays attention to how past experiences shape current patterns, especially around attachment and relationships.
That awareness helps people try new behaviors and feel different outcomes. Kevin also addresses trauma, grief, anger, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and other life transitions. Practical tools, steady support, and coaching are common parts of his work.
He helps parents and family members clarify goals, improve communication, and reduce conflict. Kevin also offers guidance for coping with health-related stress, aging concerns, and complex emotional patterns. Outside of counseling he enjoys drumming, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading.
His background includes military-related clinical work and leadership of community counseling services.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and reacting under stress so they can try new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing more realistic alternatives to change feelings and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging thinking. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and shifting emotional responses in relationships to improve communication and reduce conflict.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest one or a combination of methods. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for families and people with busy lives. These formats allow flexible check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and timely support when challenges arise. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel demands.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
