Kevin Knack , LPC

Kevin Knack is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who holds licensure in both Wisconsin and Minnesota. He completed graduate training at Winona State University in Winona, MN, and brings experience from several clinical settings, including three years in a private practice mental health agency and work in a residential treatment facility supporting adults as they moved from mental health crises back to independent living. Currently he meets with out-patient clients at a counseling agency in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

Kevin draws on a person-centered foundation and cognitive-behavioral techniques, along with strength-based methods, to help people identify existing resources and build new coping strategies. He focuses on supporting clients facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and life transitions, and he also works with issues related to aging, guilt and shame, forgiveness, intellectual disability, obsessions and compulsions, and social anxiety. Kevin aims to make the therapeutic relationship a steady base for recovering balance and moving forward with greater calm and purpose. For those who prefer, he can incorporate Christian-based perspectives into care when desired.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Work

Kevin Knack uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a client s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people who need support exploring identity, rebuilding confidence, or navigating major life changes.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, and related concerns; CBT provides practical skills and strategies people can apply between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated as a way to increase present-moment awareness and stress tolerance, which can be helpful for managing emotional intensity, improving focus with ADHD, and reducing rumination.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kevin works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques and adjusts the plan over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Kevin is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support, maintain continuity of care, and engage in therapy in ways that suit everyday life.
