About Kevin

Kevin McGarvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) 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 or self-esteem. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a calm approach to talking through what matters to each person.

Kevin has worked in partial hospital programs and outpatient settings, often with people who have significant mental health needs.

Background and approach

That background means he is used to helping people manage severe symptoms and complex diagnoses. He also has extensive experience supporting people diagnosed with personality disorders. In sessions he treats the client as the expert in their own life.

Diagnosis is not the main focus. Instead he looks at what is contributing to how someone feels and what can be changed to make daily life easier. Kevin adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation.

He learns about a client’s history and the issues that brought them to therapy before suggesting practical next steps. He takes a relaxed, collaborative tone and will answer questions before work begins. His approach draws on Existential ideas about meaning, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools for changing thoughts and habits, and brief solution-focused steps.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people cope in the moment and reduce reactivity.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Existential Therapy helps people examine questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It often suits people facing major life changes, grief, or a sense of emptiness and helps them clarify what matters. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance, giving people space to tell their story while the therapist reflects and offers support. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses clear strategies to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. He combines elements from different approaches as needed and checks in regularly to make sure the plan is working for the client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
