01About Kevin
Kevin McGarvey is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, bipolar symptoms, and problems with sleep and self-esteem. He also helps with anger, addiction, ADHD, relationship struggles, and trauma.
Kevin has worked mainly in partial hospital settings and in outpatient individual care. Much of his caseload involved people with significant mental illness and those diagnosed with personality disorders.
Background and approach
That background means he is used to supporting people through intense or complex problems. His style is relaxed and respectful. He treats people with sensitivity and compassion and avoids making a diagnosis the main focus.
Instead he listens to what contributes to how someone feels and what gets in the way of everyday life. Kevin frames the person as the expert on their own life. He tailors conversations and plans to each person’s specific needs.
That means sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels. He combines approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused ideas to fit what an individual wants. He is willing to answer questions before beginning therapy and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.

04Online support
Approach, collaboration, and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens closely and adapts sessions to what matters most to the individual, which helps when people want a supportive, nonjudgmental space to work through issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers clear tools for things like anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking by identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small behavior changes.
Kevin sees finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as work progresses. That collaborative process helps people see what works and what to change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when movement is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, timely reflections, or people who prefer writing. These formats help fit therapy into work, school, or busy family days while keeping consistent contact with licensed professionals.
