Kevin Schmidt, LCSW

Kevin Schmidt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and big life changes. He also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood difficulties, post-traumatic stress, sex addiction, sexual dysfunction, and questions about sexuality. Kevin brings a straightforward and calm presence to sessions. He treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. He describes himself as laid back, honest, and reliable, and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable. Kevin uses client-centered therapy to focus the work around what matters most to the individual. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and outcomes. Together these approaches are used to address symptoms and practical challenges. In sessions he listens closely and helps people set realistic goals. He can help clients develop coping skills, manage impulses, and work through the effects of trauma or loss. Practical steps and clear homework are introduced when they fit the goals. Outside of work Kevin values time with family and friends and enjoys quiet moments. He has ten years of professional experience as a clinician and draws on that background when supporting people through difficult transitions and recovery from addictive behaviors.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is about making the conversation focus on your priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what he hears, and helps you clarify goals and next steps. This approach helps when you need space to make sense of confusing feelings and decide what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and actions. It breaks problems into manageable parts and introduces specific strategies and exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, impulse challenges, and some sexual concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may include trying different strategies and adjusting the plan based on what helps.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during workday breaks or evenings. They can also let someone choose shorter or longer sessions depending on what works for their routine.
