About Kevin

Kevin Kramer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 22 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, mood disorders, addictions, and issues around identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns and grief.

He takes a straightforward, person-focused approach. Sessions are practical and conversational. He listens for what feels most urgent and then works with each person to plan clear next steps. That often means trying small changes between meetings and tracking what helps.

Kevin uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the person in the room. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thinking that deepen shame, guilt, or anxiety. For those affected by traumatic events he applies Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques to reduce the hold of past experiences.

Across these methods he focuses on building skills for everyday life - coping with panic, managing mood swings, handling addiction urges, or finding steadier footing after loss. He also addresses issues that can feed guilt and shame, such as relationship conflicts, caregiving strain, and isolation.

Kevin has worked with people from many backgrounds over two decades. He practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and scheduling steps through the online matching process.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions let that conversation happen without a lot of formal structure, so the meeting can adapt to immediate concerns. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through feelings of guilt, identity questions, or daily stressors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In online sessions CBT is used to spot common thinking patterns that fuel shame or anxiety and to practice alternatives between meetings. That practical focus can help with panic, low mood, and habit change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past harmful events on present life. Online work with trauma methods can include paced processing and skill-building to reduce strong emotional reactions and improve day-to-day coping.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. He will help figure out the best fit based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. Sessions are shaped together over the first meetings.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
