Kevin Kurtz , LPC

Kevin Kurtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 13 years of experience working with adults facing a wide range of life challenges. He has previously held certifications as a Christian counselor, an alcohol and drug counselor, and an anger management counselor, and his background includes formal training in trauma care, addictions including sexual addiction, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy. Kevin earned a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Counseling Skills from Toccoa Falls College in 1997 and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2012, grounding his work in both academic training and practical clinical experience.

Kevin approaches therapy with an eclectic, person-centered stance, meeting people where they are without bias toward their beliefs. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered methods, Rational Emotive Behavior techniques, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to tailor care to each individual. His practice focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, depression, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, career transitions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

In sessions Kevin concentrates on increasing self-awareness, building coping skills, and helping clients move toward the balance and goals they seek. He emphasizes collaboration and practical steps so people can make meaningful progress at a pace that fits their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Kevin frequently draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and move toward personal growth. This approach is useful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem, and navigating life transitions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with addictive behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is another method Kevin integrates when appropriate. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulse management.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kevin works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so treatment fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These modalities offer flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to access care from home or work, and allow ongoing skill practice and check-ins between sessions to support consistent progress.
