About Kevin

Kevin Sockwell is a licensed clinician in Maryland with 32 years of professional experience. He holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and he focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and self-esteem concerns. Kevin aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and busy adults.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions emphasize clear listening and practical next steps. Kevin draws on Narrative Therapy to look at how personal stories shape current problems and choices. He also uses Client-Centered techniques to follow each person’s pace and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps when patterns of thought and behavior are keeping someone stuck. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are used to strengthen motivation and present-moment coping skills. Kevin works with a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, family issues, grief, parenting stresses, and addiction challenges.

He pays attention to family of origin patterns, codependency, and issues like guilt or shame that often underlie other symptoms. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. People who choose him can expect a practical, compassionate approach that focuses on clear goals and small, achievable changes.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Kevin directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How Narrative and Practical Therapies Work Online

Kevin uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. That approach helps when old patterns or labels keep someone stuck and they want to rewrite how they see a problem.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities, offering a listening stance that respects the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change daily routines and mood.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Kevin will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize narrative work, skills from CBT, mindfulness practices, or a mix of methods.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and fit around busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and school commitments.
