Kevin Schmidt, LCSW

Kevin Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and major life changes. As an LCSW he is trained to provide psychotherapy, assessment, and practical guidance to address emotional and behavioral concerns. Kevin works with individuals on issues including impulse control, process and sex-related addictions, mood disorders, trauma responses, intimacy and relationship challenges, and concerns that commonly affect men and women.

He draws on a client-centered approach to honor each person as the expert on their own story while integrating cognitive behavioral techniques to build skills for coping and behavior change. Kevin aims to create a calm, straightforward atmosphere and emphasizes strengths-based work that helps clients move forward at a manageable pace. He describes himself as laid back, honest, and reliable.

Taking the first step toward therapy can take courage, and Kevin encourages people who are ready to explore change to reach out. Outside of his clinical work he values time with family and friends and quiet moments that support balance and reflection.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online care

Kevin uses client-centered methods to create a supportive space where the person s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, understanding individual strengths, and helping people explore their feelings and values - it is well suited to issues like grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-worth, and navigating life changes.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, mood shifts, impulsivity, and addictive behaviors. CBT provides concrete tools for changing responses and building healthier routines that support recovery and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kevin will work with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to support progress. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to care. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life, stay connected during transitions, and maintain continuity of support from a licensed professional in Florida.
