Kevin Brugman is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. He brings a calm, straightforward presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Kevin has 16 years of counseling experience and completed his graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California in 2005.
Background and approach
He moved to Texas in 2009 and has worked with many people dealing with life transitions and identity questions since then. His background gives him a range of tools to draw on while keeping conversations direct and human. In session he blends empathy with solution-focused work.
He uses mindfulness and cognitive-based techniques to help people notice how thoughts affect mood and behavior. He also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients name values and take small, meaningful actions toward them. Kevin pays attention to patterns that come from family of origin, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
He supports people addressing men’s issues, fatherhood concerns, and multicultural challenges. Sessions aim to build strengths, challenge unhelpful thinking, and set clear goals. People can expect a warm, practical style that balances listening with tools to try between sessions.
Kevin helps clients break big problems into manageable steps so progress can feel real and steady.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Kevin blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thought patterns and take values-driven action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that fuel anxiety and depression and teaching practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and committing to small steps that align with what matters to the person.He also uses client-centered and mindfulness approaches to create a steady, present-focused tone in sessions. Client-centered methods prioritize the person's experience and aim to make the conversation feel understood. Mindfulness practices help people slow down, observe feelings, and reduce reactivity so they can make clearer choices.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients can expect to shape the work together over the first few sessions.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for in-depth conversations and shared worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, progress updates, or quick coping reminders between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and let people choose what works best for their routine.
