Kevin Cooksey, LMFT

Kevin Cooksey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in South Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, anger, parenting, and related issues. Kevin also supports people dealing with sleep problems, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and life transitions.

Kevin's background includes a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Science in Research Psychology from the University of South Carolina-Upstate. He has completed additional training focused on trauma and military application, and he facilitates SYMBIS assessments for couples wanting a structured start to marriage. He serves as a state supervisor in training.

In sessions he takes a practical, straightforward approach. He mixes client-centered conversation with skill-building tools. He uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people recognize patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to develop short-term strategies for pressing problems.

Kevin works with relationship dynamics using elements of the Gottman Method alongside other clinical tools. That combination is intended to improve communication, address control or jealousy, and manage conflicts that erode trust. He also brings trauma-focused methods when past events continue to affect daily functioning.

People who choose him can expect clear goals, concrete exercises to practice between sessions, and a focus on everyday changes that reduce reactivity. He asks about practical patterns at home and work and helps people test new ways of responding. Scheduling and billing use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
