About Kevin
Kevin Sockwell is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland with 32 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, ADHD, relationship concerns, family matters, grief, parenting, and coping with life changes.
Kevin focuses on practical conversations and real steps. He listens to how family roles and early patterns still affect choices now. Sessions look at habits, communication, and ways to reduce reactive behaviors that get in the way of daily life.
He draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in what each person brings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage strong emotions and reduce rumination.
Kevin also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when they fit the problem. These approaches support people working through addictive behaviors, codependency, and problems that trace to family of origin issues. He helps people sort through guilt, shame, and questions about forgiveness.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Expect focused discussions, concrete strategies, and simple practices to try between appointments. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and better day-to-day coping with the specific challenges named above.
How Kevin uses approaches in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's concerns at the center of the work. The therapist listens closely and follows the person's priorities, helping them reflect on patterns and decide what to change. This approach suits people who want to talk through how family expectations and roles still influence their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers simple experiments and behavioral steps to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or compulsive responses. This can be useful for stress, OCD patterns, and addictive behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches basic attention and breathing practices to calm strong reactions and lower rumination. These tools are often used between sessions to manage emotion spikes and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which approaches to try, based on goals, preferences, and what works in short-term practice.
