About Kevin
Kevin Brugman offers support for people juggling stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and big life changes. He works with concerns like relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD-related challenges, self-esteem, and career worries. His first aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to handle daily demands.
Kevin brings 16 years of counseling experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC). He earned his graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California and has practiced in Texas since 2009.
Background and approach
He keeps his approach straightforward and practical. In sessions he listens first, then helps people identify patterns that make feelings harder to manage. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to build calm and focus.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people choose actions that match their values even when emotions are strong. Kevin tends to work in a warm, problem-solving way. He helps clients name their goals, try small changes, and notice what works.
He also addresses deeper issues like trauma, family of origin concerns, abandonment, and guilt when those get in the way of day-to-day life. Practical skills, steady support, and clear planning are central to his style. People who want help managing anger, improving communication, or rebuilding confidence often find these methods useful.
He aims to help each person move toward more manageable days and clearer priorities.

Approach and online options for working through strong emotions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values even when emotions are intense. It focuses on accepting feelings without letting them dictate actions and is useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's agenda. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of painful experiences and build confidence.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or weekday support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain progress from different locations.
