Kevin Kurtz , LPC

Kevin Kurtz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. He brings formal training and a faith-informed background to his work, having 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. The LPC credential indicates formal licensure to provide professional counseling services in the state of Georgia.

He has previously held certifications as a Christian Counselor, an Alcohol/Drug Counselor, and an Anger Management counselor, and has pursued additional training in trauma, addictions including sexual addiction, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy. Kevin’s approach is grounded in meeting people where they are without bias toward their beliefs and supporting their efforts to grow into the persons they wish to become.

Kevin works with a broad range of concerns including substance and behavioral addictions, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem, ADHD, career and life changes, and other mood and adjustment challenges. His counseling style is eclectic and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral, Person-Centered, Rational Emotive Behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques with adults. He aims to help clients develop greater self-awareness, practical coping skills, and a healthier balance in life while collaborating on realistic steps toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kevin integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, helping people explore their values and build self-awareness so they can move toward personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kevin works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors techniques from these methods to create a plan that fits the individual. This partnership helps determine which strategies are most helpful over time.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to receive consistent support around work, family, and life transitions. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care while adapting to schedules and circumstances, making it simpler to practice new skills between sessions.
