About Kevin
Kevin Bagwell is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LPCC with 20 years of experience working in the helping professions. He practices in California and works with people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, eating issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
He uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that increase distress, and Narrative and Mindfulness approaches to help people reframe experiences and manage strong feelings.
Kevin's background includes long work in community mental health, nonprofit settings, university psychiatric services, and private practice. That mix informs a pragmatic style that focuses on problem-solving and relationship skills as well as emotional regulation techniques. He helps people talk through difficult past events, relationship conflicts, or crises at work.
Sessions tend to focus on clear goals - reducing angry reactions, improving communication, or coping with loss or change. He also addresses substance use, attention difficulties, and compulsive behaviors when they affect daily life. Work in therapy may include skill practice, short-term behavior experiments, and reflective discussion about values and choices.
Kevin conducts therapy in English. He does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting the concerns you bring. Online sessions can still use that style - the therapist listens, mirrors what matters, and helps clarify goals in simple terms. This approach helps when anger comes from relationships or feeling misunderstood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online work, the therapist will help you spot thinking patterns that escalate anger and suggest small behavioral experiments to try between sessions. This method suits issues like workplace frustration, repeated arguments, or coping with cravings.
Existential ideas and mindfulness practices help people tolerate strong emotions and think about values and choices. Online sessions can include short mindfulness exercises and reflective conversation about what matters to you when anger arises.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with you to choose approaches that fit your goals, preferences, and the situations that trigger anger. That decision is collaborative and may shift as work progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule - for example, a shorter check-in during a work break, or an audio session when video is difficult. These practical benefits often help people keep consistent appointments and practice new skills in day-to-day life.
