About Kevin
Kevin Brugman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting stress. He also focuses on issues such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, fatherhood, and multicultural concerns.
Kevin uses straightforward talk therapy rather than jargon. He listens to what matters to the person and helps them notice how thoughts and coping habits affect feelings. Sessions often include practical exercises from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness practices to build clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses.
He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action that fits those values. Client-centered ideas guide how he shapes the conversation so the person leads the pace and priorities. Elements of existential therapy appear when people face big life questions or search for meaning after loss.
In the room he helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns, practice new ways of responding, and set short-term goals that are doable. For someone carrying guilt or shame, he works to separate past actions from current choices and to rebuild a sense of agency. He also supports those wrestling with family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns.
Kevin earned a graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in 2005 and moved to Texas in 2009. Over time he has combined several therapy methods into a practical, conversational style focused on clear steps and steady progress.
How Kevin integrates approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings are present. It is useful for guilt, shame, and life changes where action matters more than perfect thinking.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing alternative responses. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and rumination that keeps someone stuck.
Mindfulness practices teach simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and steady emotional ups and downs. These practices pair well with ACT and CBT when someone wants concrete ways to manage intense feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kevin treats choosing methods as a collaboration and will help clients test what fits their needs, goals, and preferences over a few sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy life. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or make it simpler to meet between work or family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices to an online setting so people can work on guilt, shame, and relationship issues without changing their daily routines.
