About Kevin
Kevin Cooksey is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in South Carolina. He brings ten years of clinical experience and a background in research psychology and conflict resolution to his work. Kevin has worked with people facing anger, stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges.
He approaches sessions in a straightforward, practical way. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's concerns and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
He also draws on the Gottman Method to support couples and solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals. Kevin earned a Bachelor of Science in Research Psychology with a minor in Conflict Resolution from the University of South Carolina-Upstate. He completed a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Liberty University and is working toward a Ph.D.
He holds SC LMFT licensure and participates in professional organizations relevant to marriage and family work. In-session, he aims for clear, manageable steps. People can expect to talk about what’s happening now, try practical coping ideas, and track small changes over time.
He helps with issues such as trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, ADHD-related struggles, and career stress. Kevin also has experience with first responder and military-related concerns, fatherhood issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness work. He uses assessment tools when helpful and supports those looking for focused coaching alongside therapy.

Online approaches that fit busy lives
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room, listening closely and shaping sessions around each client's concerns to build understanding and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anger, anxiety, and low mood. The Gottman Method provides structured ways for couples to improve communication and manage conflict together.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kevin will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adjust methods as needed. That collaboration makes it easier to try techniques, review what helps, and change course when something isn't working.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people work face-to-face when that feels useful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging are good for short check-ins, coaching-style feedback, or written reflections between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
