Kevin Bagwell , LPC, LPCC

Kevin Bagwell is a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience supporting people through relationship, family and trauma-related challenges. He holds LPC and LPCC credentials - licensed professional counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor - and is certified in Michigan to supervise counselors working toward full licensure. With a Master of Science in Counseling from National Louis University earned in 2001, he has spent decades in human services and clinical settings, including nonprofit organizations, community mental health, a university psychiatric center and private practice.

He brings focused training in treating family relational problems, depression, trauma - including histories of sexual or physical abuse, neglect and experiences of domestic violence - as well as ADHD, addictions, obsessive-compulsive concerns and related conditions. His background also includes work with psychosis, providing counseling and coordinating referrals for psychiatric assessment when appropriate. Kevin relies on warmth, unconditional positive regard and a therapeutic bond built on trust and mutual respect as the foundation for effective work.

Using an eclectic approach tailored to each person, he draws from Solution-Focused methods, Cognitive Behavioral strategies, existential perspectives, family systems thinking and trauma-focused CBT to match interventions to a client’s specific needs and goals. He encourages those taking the first step toward change and offers guidance through each person’s individual path to healing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Kevin Bagwell incorporates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy into his online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s priorities guide each session and helps with relationship struggles, self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical strategies and can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, trauma-related patterns and addictive behaviors.

He approaches therapy collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the work. Kevin will explore a client’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt techniques so the approach fits the person rather than forcing a single model. This collaborative process helps determine when to emphasize problem-solving skills, deeper meaning-making or trauma-focused strategies.

Online therapy with Kevin includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to offer flexibility across different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain consistent care and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
