About Kennan
Kennan DeWitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of experience. He focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship problems. Kennan aims to make first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.
Kennan often uses clear, practical methods in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set small goals they can try between meetings. That might mean learning ways to ease intense emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, or building habits that reduce urges and cravings.
Background and approach
He draws on several approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sessions emphasize what matters to the client and how to move toward those values in everyday life. Conversations are direct but respectful, and Kennan tries to make the room feel nonjudgmental.
Kennan has worked with concerns such as trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar disorder, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues related to identity and LGBT experiences. He also offers support for life transitions, caregiver stress, midlife challenges, and grief around separation or divorce. Practical skills and steady support are part of his work.
He helps people notice patterns, try different responses, and track what improves. The focus is on steps that fit a client's life and goals, with the therapist and client collaborating on the plan.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take small steps toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors that reduce symptoms; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the clients pace to build trust and clarity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That process is collaborative and tailored to each persons needs and preferences rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins, progress notes, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
