About Kevin
Kevin Knack is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and major life changes. He sees clients in Wisconsin and brings a calm, practical presence to sessions. He uses everyday language and clear goals in conversations.
His aim is to help people find steadier ground and better ways to cope. Knack trained at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, and has four years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
He spent time in independent practice and worked in a residential treatment setting helping adults move from crisis toward independent living. He currently meets with out-patient clients in La Crosse, Wisconsin. His style centers on listening first and then building on each person’s strengths.
He blends Client-Centered therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, not just talking about problems. Knack also draws on motivational interviewing techniques to help people clarify their goals and find the motivation to change.
For those who wish, elements of faith and Christian perspectives can be included as part of the work. Sessions are offered in English. He works with people who want straightforward support to manage mood, reduce anger, handle stress, or improve daily functioning.
Meetings are organized around what a person needs next and how to move forward at a workable pace.

How his approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can make their own choices. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to sort through feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which can help with anxiety, anger, and low mood.
He also uses mindfulness techniques to teach basic attention and breathing skills that reduce reactivity and improve focus. These skills pair well with CBT when someone wants tools to manage strong emotions in the moment.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to set clear goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients help shape the plan as they go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone calls are an option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, short coaching, or when daily check-ins help maintain progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
