Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC

Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC, offers practical help for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or trauma. He speaks plainly and focuses on what a person wants to change. His style centers on listening, steady support, and helping people learn skills that make everyday life more manageable.

With 32 years in the field, Kevin combines hands-on skill teaching with attention to how past relationships affect today. He helps people calm body and mind so decision making gets clearer. He guides clients to spot self-sabotaging thoughts and to replace them with more realistic alternatives that improve mood and behavior.

Kevin uses cognitive approaches alongside attachment and client-centered ideas to work on thinking patterns and the role of relationships. He also draws from dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused methods to teach emotional regulation and to strengthen how people connect with others. Sessions emphasize practical tools and small changes clients can use between meetings.

He has a long history of counseling across varied settings, including work supporting the U.S. Armed Forces mission and running a rural counseling practice. That background informs his steady, direct approach to problem solving and skill building.

Outside of clinical work he enjoys drumming, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading. Those interests shape a down-to-earth style that many people find relatable and easy to talk with.

Practical approaches you can use online

Kevin blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that translate well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often leads to clearer choices and better mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape present feelings and reactions, helping people create new ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kevin works collaboratively with clients to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. He adjusts methods over time so sessions target the most useful skills and insights for each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let therapists and clients read facial cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching and quick problem-solving between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still focusing on concrete skills and emotional work.
