Dr. Kevin Keating

Dr. Kevin Keating is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues around life purpose. He also addresses parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, and coping with major life changes.

Kevin listens without judgment and focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions combine practical cognitive-behavioral ideas with existential and client-centered perspectives. That means conversations often look at current difficulties, patterns of thinking, and what gives daily life meaning.

In session he helps people name painful thoughts and test unhelpful beliefs. He also encourages action steps that align with personal values. Work can include short exercises, conversational reflection, and setting small, doable goals between meetings.

He draws on narrative techniques when people feel stuck by the stories they tell about themselves. Reframing those stories can reduce shame and open different choices for relationships and work. For people facing grief, chronic illness, or caregiver stress, the focus is on practical coping and clearer decisions.

Kevin aims to be direct and down-to-earth in sessions. He helps people clarify priorities, manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood, and consider next steps when life feels unsettled. To begin, prospective clients follow the practice’s intake process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills to manage symptoms and behavior. It is often applied to stress, anxiety, and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a listening posture and collaborative conversation to help people find their own solutions and make sense of choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session format details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow check-ins during breaks, and reduce travel time. Some approaches lend themselves to shorter skill-focused check-ins while others use longer conversational sessions, and he will help match the format to what you want to accomplish.
