Kevin Wilbanks, LCPC, LPC

Kevin Wilbanks is a licensed counselor practicing in Oregon with 32 years of professional experience and a long history of clinical training. He holds a Doctorate in Counseling (D. Min) from Covington Theological Seminary, a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University, and a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on social sciences. He presents a collaborative, listening-centered approach that emphasizes dependability, honesty, and non-judgmental understanding to help people move from where they are to where they want to be.

Kevin helps clients work through depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family conflicts, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns. He focuses on resolving past interpersonal problems and reducing barriers to growth by offering corrective emotional experiences within the therapeutic relationship - for example, finally feeling heard and understood by another person. He teaches practical skills to calm body and mind, supports insight into how past experiences relate to present patterns, and coaches toward behavior changes that replace self-sabotaging thoughts and habits with more reality-based thinking.

Before his current practice he supported the United States Armed Forces mission as a clinical counselor for fourteen years and served as CEO of Counseling Associates of West Georgia from 2000 to 2008, specializing in rural counseling and mediation. Kevin is credentialed as an LCPC and an LPC - professional counselor licenses - and welcomes international clients. Outside of clinical work he enjoys playing drums and percussion, hiking, fitness, travel, and reading.

Online Therapy and Therapeutic Approaches with Kevin

Kevin integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet clients where they are. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps people build safer, more secure connections in their close relationships, which can be helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship distress.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a space where clients can explore values and goals and develop greater self-awareness and self-esteem through a supportive therapeutic relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more reality-based thinking and practical coping strategies, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kevin works with each person to clarify goals, assess needs and preferences, and adapt techniques so the work fits the client rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to attend from different locations, and to pick the format that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
