About Kevin

Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC, meets people where they are and helps them find clearer paths forward. He focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, anger, depression, and experiences of trauma and abuse. He aims to build a dependable, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients feel heard and understood.

Kevin uses straightforward talk and practical skill-building to calm body and mind so decisions feel easier. He works with people to notice how past experiences shape current choices, and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving that make daily life more manageable. Sessions include coaching on habits, self-talk, and emotion regulation skills.

With 32 years of professional experience, Kevin draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. He emphasizes collaborative work so goals are clear and realistic. He encourages clients to treat therapy like hiring an expert to help when personal efforts haven’t led to lasting change.

Kevin earned a Doctorate in Counseling, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, and a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. He has worked in clinical counseling roles, including supporting the U.S. Armed Forces and leading a rural counseling practice. His background includes work with adults across many life stages.

Outside of clinical work he enjoys playing drums and percussion, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading. He invites prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session to begin discussing practical next steps.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Attachment-based therapy emphasizes the role of relationships in shaping how people feel and react. It focuses on understanding patterns from early bonds and uses the therapeutic relationship to try out new ways of connecting and regulating emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping after trauma. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) centers on naming and shifting strong emotional patterns in relationships, useful when emotional cycles cause recurring conflict or disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to learn about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Then the two of you decide which approaches and exercises to try, adjusting over time based on what helps most.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, offering shorter check-ins when mornings or lunch breaks are tight, or letting someone choose a session type that feels less demanding on bandwidth or attention. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment-based techniques, and EFT exercises for remote sessions so practical skills and relationship work continue between meetings.
