About Kevin

Kevin Kurtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, anger, depression, grief, and issues with intimacy and self-esteem. He works with adults navigating career changes, ADHD, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Kevin aims to meet clients where they are and help them move toward the life they want. His approach is practical and straightforward.

Sessions focus on building awareness of patterns that keep people stuck and learning skills to change those patterns. He draws on several well-known methods so sessions can be tailored to each person’s needs.

Kevin has 13 years of clinical experience and holds a masters degree in professional counseling. He has additional training in addictions, trauma work, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy.

He also has past certifications related to Christian counseling, alcohol and drug counseling, and anger management. In the therapy room he blends client-centered listening with structured techniques.

That might mean working on clearer communication, emotion regulation skills, or practical steps to manage cravings or mood symptoms. He pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those issues come up.

People who choose him should expect a collaborative style. Kevin helps set goals and checks progress along the way.

His work often includes thinking about life purpose, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or loss.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kevin commonly uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and handle conflict more constructively in their relationships. The Gottman-style work focuses on concrete skills for listening, managing arguments, and rebuilding trust after hurts.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and understanding the person without judgment. This approach helps people feel heard while they explore goals and make changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will ask about your goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative process aims to match methods to your needs and preferences rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, reflections between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
