About Kevin
Kevin Ford is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience working in New Jersey. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, and mood concerns while treating each person with respect and sensitivity. He aims to make the first step toward help feel manageable and straightforward.
Kevin keeps sessions practical. He listens first, then shapes a plan that fits each person's needs and goals. Conversations are direct and calm, with tools and steps to try between meetings.
Background and approach
He often uses skills drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing is used to support changes related to substance or process addictions and habits. Kevin helps people work through grief, career stress, and relationship communication problems.
He also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, panic attacks, or social anxiety. Additional focus areas include autism and Asperger syndrome, impulsivity, and stopping smoking or vaping. Sessions are available in English and offered online in several formats so people can choose what fits their schedules.
The process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling steps to match preferences and timing. Kevin aims to create a respectful space where small steps add up. He works with each person to track progress and adjust the plan as needs change.

Approaches Kevin lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches for online care and handling strong emotions
Kevin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. It breaks problems into clear steps and teaches practical strategies to try between sessions.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help manage intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, and strengthen interpersonal communication. These skills can be useful for anger, mood swings, and impulsive behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing is another method he uses when people want help changing habits like substance use or process addictions. It emphasizes personal motivation and small, achievable goals rather than pressure to change immediately.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust methods based on the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls are helpful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a short break in the day or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or written practice between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and practice skills in real life.
