About Kevin

Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC, brings a steady, practical presence to therapy. He speaks plainly and listens carefully to help people get from where they are to where they want to be. Kevin focuses on building a dependable, honest relationship so clients can make real changes in daily life.

He uses straightforward tools to reduce worry and lift mood. That includes teaching ways to calm the body and mind, and to change unhelpful self-talk. Kevin helps people see how past patterns affect today’s choices and supports them in trying different behaviors that work better.

Many come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, trauma, or family concerns. He also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and codependency. His approach aims to turn life barriers into chances for growth and more control.

Kevin draws on nearly three decades of experience in counseling. He has worked in diverse settings, including support for the U.S. armed forces and rural counseling and mediation. He blends practical coaching with empathic listening to help clients move forward.

Sessions focus on skills you can use right away. Expect clear guidance, steady support, and a focus on small changes that add up. Kevin also enjoys drumming, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading outside of his counseling work.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns of closeness and distance, and practice new ways of relating that increase trust and stability. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and uses active listening to help people feel understood and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful in early sessions. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can also let a person continue therapy when circumstances change or when scheduling around work and family is necessary. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and skill practice to match each client’s daily routine.
