About Kevin
Kevin West is a Licensed Professional Counselor with three decades of experience. He earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology and has worked in schools, universities, agencies, and independent practice. He now sees people in Oklahoma and helps with everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.
Over 30 years, he has led workshops and provided career counseling and teambuilding for organizations. He has supported high school and university students, and he has also met people in their homes to address a wide range of personal issues.
Background and approach
His background gives him a broad view of how life, work, and relationships interact. Kevin keeps his language simple and practical. He uses tools from different approaches - cognitive techniques, behavioral options, and narrative ideas - to match what a person needs in the moment.
He avoids jargon and often uses analogies and humor to make things easier to talk about. He believes therapy is a collaborative search. He compares counseling to using a flashlight to look into darker parts of life, and he moves at a pace the client finds comfortable.
Acceptance is a core stance - he meets people where they are and acknowledges human imperfections. People can expect a calm, down-to-earth style that focuses on practical steps and clearer understanding. Kevin offers session formats that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and preferences.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT can guide online work
Kevin often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Narrative work looks at how life events are named and understood, and then helps people tell different, more useful versions of their experience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach he uses, focusing on values and practical steps to live a meaningful life even when difficult feelings are present.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, which center the person’s own goals and perspective in sessions. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and giving people space to lead the conversation. Together these methods aim to clarify what matters to a person and to shape concrete actions they can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapt techniques as the relationship develops. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick strategies that fit daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth conversations, phone sessions can fit a busy day or use less bandwidth, quick check-ins work well as chat, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people with varied schedules and needs.
