About Kevin
Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC, is a counselor who focuses on practical help for parents and individuals facing stress and relationship strain. He writes and talks plainly, helping people calm their bodies and minds so they can make clearer decisions. He aims to create a dependable, non-judgmental space where clients can feel heard and begin to change old patterns.
Over 32 years he has worked in clinical counseling and in settings that included support for the U.S. armed forces.
Background and approach
He draws on his MA in Counseling Psychology and a Doctorate in Counseling to inform a steady, experienced approach. Kevin combines listening with concrete skills coaching so people can move from feeling stuck to making different choices. In session he helps people notice how past experiences affect present behavior.
He teaches simple ways to shift unhelpful self-talk and reduce emotional reactivity. That often means learning calming techniques, practicing new ways to communicate, and trying small behavior changes between meetings. Parents and others contact him about anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, anger, relationship problems, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiving stress.
He also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, and problems with control or commitment. Kevin emphasizes collaboration - you set goals and he helps you reach them. Sessions can include short-term skills work or longer-term exploration of patterns.
He blends approaches to fit each person rather than sticking to a single method.

Approaches that translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions can help clients notice patterns in closeness and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and build trust. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience at the center of conversation. In this approach the therapist listens closely and reflects back concerns so clients gain clarity and make choices that suit their lives.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kevin will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Together they check progress and adjust techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for detailed conversations and skills coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text work well for brief updates, written exercises, or when scheduling makes real-time messages more convenient.
