About Kevin
Kevin Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with ten years of professional experience. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and people coping with major life changes. Kevin also focuses on issues such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and sexual concerns. Sessions are conducted in English.
Kevin uses straightforward conversation and practical skills in sessions. He leans on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters to the client. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and try out small behavior changes.
In a typical meeting he helps people name what is most urgent, test one or two manageable steps, and check what worked. He keeps language plain and concrete so clients can use ideas between sessions.
His approach suits people dealing with process addictions such as pornography or gambling, sex addiction and sexual dysfunction, and those struggling with grief or mood shifts. He also supports people wrestling with shame, impulsive choices, or the emotional fallout of life transitions.
Kevin describes himself as laid back, honest, and reliable. He values time with family and quiet moments outside of work. If you want to explore how to manage stress, change a pattern, or address addictive behavior, he offers a practical, directive style aimed at real-life progress.
BHow sessions work
How Kevin uses client-centered and CBT approaches online
Kevin uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and reflect what matters to the person. That approach focuses on understanding the client's priorities, validating feelings, and building on the person's own strengths to move forward. It is useful when people want a steady space to make sense of stress, grief, or relationship-related concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep a problem going. CBT breaks issues into smaller parts, tests unhelpful beliefs, and tries small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change addictive patterns. This approach is practical for someone who wants clear exercises and progress checks between sessions.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Kevin collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort. He adjusts plans based on what is helpful and what isn’t, rather than sticking to a single technique.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Kevin frames sessions around day-to-day life and practical change, whether you need skills for impulse control, managing cravings, or coping with loss.
