About Kevin
Kevin Sockwell is an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) practicing in Maryland with 32 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, ADHD, relationship concerns, parenting struggles, grief, and challenges that come with life changes. He also focuses on issues such as codependency, communication problems, and young adult issues.
Kevin emphasizes straightforward conversation. He helps people name the concerns that feel most urgent and then looks at practical steps to reduce distress. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, coping skills, and ways to manage everyday pressures like work, school, and money.
His style draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own views, along with cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness, and motivational interviewing helps people find reasons to make difficult changes.
Over decades of work, Kevin has supported people through addiction and trauma recovery, grief, and struggles with self-esteem and identity. He pays attention to family-of-origin patterns and communication habits that keep problems repeating.
People often seek him out when they feel stuck after big life changes, overwhelmed by new responsibilities, or unsure about next steps. The first conversations focus on what matters to the client and practical ways to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities. It involves reflective listening and helping people clarify what matters to them, which can be useful for stress, relationship strain, and decisions common in early adulthood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It provides concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and to build new habits, which is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, and compulsive behaviors.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It can be useful when stress or intrusive thoughts make day-to-day tasks harder.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable week to week.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can reduce bandwidth and camera time, while video sessions let you use visual cues during conversation. Ask about format options when you schedule to find what fits your routine.
