About Kevin
Kevin McGarvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, and related issues such as sleep problems and low self-esteem. Sessions are conversational and practical, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day difficulties.
Before moving into outpatient work, he spent much of his time in partial hospital settings. That work involved supporting people with significant mental illness and those diagnosed with personality disorders. He also has experience in individual outpatient settings where sessions are focused on concrete goals and coping skills.
His style is relaxed and direct. He treats clients with respect and listens to how they describe their difficulties. He emphasizes that the person is the expert on their life, and that symptoms often come from life challenges rather than labels alone.
Kevin blends approaches to fit what the person needs. He uses client-centered listening alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques. He also draws on solution-focused and existential ideas when appropriate to help people identify next steps and clarify values.
People who find social situations or speaking up difficult may see relevant support here, including work on phobias and social anxiety. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online intake flow described on the site.
How Kevin’s approaches are used in online sessions
Kevin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and can target issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, and obsessive thoughts by practicing new skills in everyday situations.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and understanding how the person sees their life. This approach supports people to describe their problems in their own words and identify what matters to them without focusing only on diagnoses.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Kevin will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skill work, mindfulness exercises, and solution-focused steps across sessions as needs evolve.
The biography did not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also help when video is difficult - for example a phone session can use less bandwidth and allow a quicker conversation. Licensed professionals generally adapt tools and homework so the work continues between appointments.
