About Kenneth
Kenneth O'Hearn is an LPC-MHSP, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider, practicing in Tennessee with three years of professional therapy experience. He draws on long experience responding to crises prior to becoming a counselor. He works with people facing addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Before counseling, Kenneth spent 25 years as a board-certified paramedic. He also served 10 years in the U.S. Air Force. Those roles shaped how he sees stress, trauma, and the impact of high-pressure work on mood and behavior.
In sessions he treats practical problems rather than labels. He helps people notice what triggers intense reactions and builds safer ways of responding. He uses clear, direct conversation and practical steps to reduce reactivity and manage cravings or mood swings.
Kenneth emphasizes the client's own strengths and experience. He asks straightforward questions, listens for patterns, and suggests concrete skills to try between meetings. His approach is action-focused and grounded in real-world experience with crisis situations.
People often come to him for help with anger that flares at work or with loved ones, for help after traumatic events, or for support while working through addiction and mood issues. He encourages small, steady changes and checks progress each session.
Approaches for anger, trauma, and addiction online
Many of Kenneth's clinical ideas come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and coping. One common approach emphasizes identifying triggers and teaching concrete coping skills to reduce intense reactions. This method helps people notice the moments that lead to anger or relapse and practice new responses.Another approach centers on processing traumatic events in small, manageable steps while tracking mood and safety. This helps people reduce the hold of past events and rebuild day-to-day functioning after stressful experiences.
Finding which methods fit a person is part of the work. Kenneth will discuss goals and preferences, try practical skills, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and focused on steady, measurable change.
