About Kevin
Kevin Bagwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC with 20 years of experience. He is based in California and works with adults on concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, eating issues, anger, and attention difficulties.
Kevin keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens for what matters most and helps people talk through patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations often focus on clearer communication, problem solving, and small changes that reduce friction at home or work.
His background includes long-term work in community mental health, nonprofit settings, university psychiatry, and private practice. That mix has shaped a flexible approach that draws on several methods rather than one fixed technique. Kevin aims to match strategies to a person's daily life and goals.
He uses client-centered ideas to prioritize the person's own perspective. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Narrative and existential elements help people make sense of difficult events and choices.
Sessions typically explore coping skills, boundary setting, and ways to lower ongoing stress rather than quick fixes. Kevin also addresses practical concerns like parenting challenges, managing anger, and substance use as they affect relationships and work. The goal is clearer choices and steadier reactions in everyday situations.
How sessions work
How Kevin’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work puts the person’s perspective first and focuses conversations on what the client cares about. Online sessions using this approach typically start with the client’s concerns and move toward practical steps the person wants to try.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions this can include structured exercises, thought records, and short homework aimed at changing reactions to anger, anxiety, or low mood.
Narrative and existential elements help people make sense of difficult experiences and life choices. Remotely these approaches support clearer storytelling about what happened and what kind of life the person wants to build next.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will collaborate with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and daily routines. That means adapting techniques and pacing to what the person prefers and needs.
Confirm the exact session formats before you book since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also use materials and exercises between meetings to reinforce new skills and manage anger in everyday moments.
