About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of Colorado Denver. He brings 30 years of hands-on experience across schools, universities, agencies, independent practice, and in-home work. His experience covers a broad range of concerns, including anger, stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship and family issues.
Kevin uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. He avoids jargon and favors plain language and helpful analogies.
Background and approach
He often uses humor when appropriate and aims to create a comfortable space where people can admit struggles without judgment. Over three decades he has worked with high school and university students, led workshops for nontraditional learners, developed teambuilding programs, and provided career counseling.
More recently he has done in-home work addressing depression, addictions in the family, low self-esteem, and anger issues among other concerns. Kevin draws on a diverse set of approaches in his counseling toolbox. He mixes cognitive and behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and narrative and emotion-focused techniques.
He tailors strategies to each person’s situation instead of following a fixed script. In sessions he guides people to look where it helps most, while respecting their pace. He describes a therapist as a flashlight that helps explore darker areas only when the person is ready.
He invites people to search through their concerns together and to find workable steps forward.

Approach, collaboration, and online options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions and gain self-understanding.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust as needed. This is a shared process where techniques are matched to the client’s needs and preferences rather than imposed.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit quick updates, brief coaching, or those who prefer writing. Together these options offer flexibility to fit work, family, or travel schedules and make it easier to keep regular appointments.
