About Kevin
Kevin McGarvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, and related concerns such as addictions, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Kevin works from a client-centered perspective and uses practical methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address symptoms and daily struggles.
He has substantial experience in partial hospital settings, helping people with significant mental illness, and also spent time in individual outpatient care. That background includes work with people diagnosed with personality disorders and managing complex symptoms in structured clinical settings.
Kevin approaches sessions assuming the person knows their life best. Diagnosis is one piece of information, not the whole story. He focuses on what contributes to how someone feels and on concrete steps to make day-to-day coping easier.
In sessions he keeps the tone relaxed and direct. He asks about a person’s history and current stressors to shape practical goals and strategies. He uses CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and mindfulness to build moment-to-moment awareness.
Kevin also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas when fitting interventions to a person’s values and situation. He invites questions before beginning work and discusses how treatment can be organized around the person’s needs and goals.

How his approaches translate to online work
Kevin commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions typically involve reviewing recent situations, testing thinking patterns, and practicing new skills between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build simple awareness skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and emotion regulation through short exercises and breath-based practices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. He will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and how to structure sessions so they fit the person’s life and aims.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow work on mindfulness and CBT skills between meetings, so strategies are practiced during daily life rather than only in the therapy hour.
