About Kevin
Kevin Bagwell is an LPC, LPCC counselor licensed in Michigan with 20 years of professional experience and nearly two decades working directly as a therapist. He works with adults on relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and other life changes.Kevin focuses on practical conversations about current problems. He listens for how relationships, communication, and daily habits affect mood and behavior. Sessions tend to center on clear goals and steps people can try between meetings.
He draws on several therapy approaches to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-Centered work puts the person’s perspective first and helps shape the direction of care. Narrative and Existential ideas are woven in to help people make sense of their experience and values.
Kevin has worked in nonprofit settings, community mental health, university psychiatry, and private practice. That variety informs how he frames problems and connects people with additional services when needed. He has experience addressing ADHD, addiction, eating issues, domestic violence, and trauma histories.
In sessions he attends to patterns in relationships including attachment, communication, control, and codependency. He also supports adults dealing with fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, caregiver stress, and career-related concerns. Readiness to work on small, practical changes is where many people begin to see relief.

How sessions work
How Kevin applies therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens closely and uses the client’s goals to guide what happens in sessions. It helps with relationship strain, parenting worries, and decisions about life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. The work involves identifying patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some eating or addiction concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as progress is made so sessions stay focused and relevant.
Confirm current session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten check-ins, avoid travel time, and use a quieter setting when possible. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and pacing so the work translates well to a remote meeting.
