About Kevin
Kevin Brugman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, anger, and coping with life changes. He also addresses family of origin issues, fatherhood challenges, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Kevin keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and choices. He uses mindfulness and cognitive techniques to build small, usable skills rather than long lists of theory. Conversations are direct and focused on what the client wants to change next.
In practice he draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. Those methods are used to address things like trauma, shame, impulsivity, and problems with control. He works to identify patterns from family history and to support people who are figuring out life purpose or dealing with multicultural concerns.
Sessions tend to emphasize practical coping tools, clearer communication, and steps toward realistic goals. He guides clients through processing grief, addressing abandonment or blended-family stresses, and managing anger or impulsive responses. Expect a focus on skills you can try between sessions.
Kevin trained in marriage and family counseling and has practiced in Texas since moving there in 2009. He combines experience with a down-to-earth approach to help adults navigate the pressures of early and mid-adulthood.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take actions that align with those values. It uses mindfulness and experiments to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful direction when anxiety, depression, or uncertainty get in the way.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to test and change unhelpful thoughts and to develop new coping skills for anxiety, anger, and ADHD-related struggles.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness. These practices are useful for trauma responses, grief, and managing stress day to day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Confirm current session options before booking to know exactly which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a hectic schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use phone-only meetings when bandwidth is limited or choose video when visual connection helps the work.
