About Kevin
Kevin McGarvey is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with five years of experience. He has worked in partial hospital programs and outpatient settings, helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, and personality disorder diagnoses. Kevin aims to treat clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
He tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Kevin often begins by listening closely so he can understand a person's background and the problems they bring.
Background and approach
He believes the person is the expert on their life and that symptoms often come from life challenges rather than a label. This shapes how he frames goals and measures progress together. In session he keeps a relaxed, direct style.
He focuses on practical steps that can make managing stressors easier. That might include clearer communication strategies, routines to improve sleep, or tools for coping with intense emotions like anger. His work includes helping people with addictions, grieving, relationship strain, low self-esteem, ADHD, and panic or social anxiety.
He also addresses obsessions, compulsions, phobias, and other concerns that affect daily life. Kevin is willing to answer questions before beginning therapy and aims to create a plan that fits each client’s goals. He invites people to take the first step and talk through what they hope to change.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It centers the person’s experience and helps them name goals and choices, which can be useful for anger, relationship problems, and low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, obsessions, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness Therapy encourages attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity. These techniques can help with stress, sleeping problems, and managing intense emotions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. They adjust the plan as you try strategies and see what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can support quick questions, brief reflections, or ongoing check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
