About Kevin

Kevin McGarvey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are coping with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, and bipolar disorder, drawing on years of work in both partial hospital programs and individual outpatient settings. He has particular experience supporting individuals diagnosed with personality disorders and those managing significant mental health concerns.

Kevin approaches counseling from the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. He emphasizes understanding the life circumstances that contribute to symptoms rather than centering the diagnosis alone, and he adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s unique needs. His style is relaxed and collaborative, seeking to learn about a client’s background and the issues that led them to seek support so he can offer relevant, practical assistance.

He values respect, sensitivity, and compassion in therapeutic work and aims to help clients identify ways to manage stressors more effectively. Kevin is open to answering questions prospective clients may have prior to beginning therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kevin McGarvey integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Client-centered therapy centers on the individual’s perspective, helping people explore their values, strengths, and life experiences while the therapist offers empathy and support. This approach is helpful for those seeking a collaborative, person-focused environment to process change and build self-understanding. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns. It is practical and skills-based, often used to address mood difficulties, panic, and compulsive patterns.

Kevin views choosing an approach as a collaborative process. He works with clients to assess their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and he tailors techniques so the therapy fit evolves over time. That collaborative stance helps ensure the methods used align with what each person finds most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access therapists from different locations. For many clients, these options increase consistency of care and make it simpler to use therapeutic tools between sessions.
