About Kevin
Kevin Wilbanks is a licensed counselor based in Oregon with more than three decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who are stressed, anxious, or struggling with relationships and self-esteem.

He listens without judgment and aims to create a steady, dependable space for people to talk through painful past experiences. Kevin helps clients learn ways to calm the body and mind so decisions feel easier.
Background and approach
He also coaches on changing self-defeating thoughts and actions that block progress. Over his career he has worked in a variety of settings including support for U.S. Armed Forces missions and running a rural counseling practice.
That background gives him experience with many life challenges such as grief, trauma, parenting stress, anger, and relationship breakdowns. In sessions he blends attention to feelings and relationships with practical skills training. That might mean noticing how past relationships shape current choices and then practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.
The goal is more control, better coping, and a greater sense of wellbeing. Kevin holds a Doctorate in Counseling and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology. He is credentialed as an LCPC and an LPC.
He enjoys hiking, playing percussion, fitness, and reading when he is not working with clients.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. Online sessions using this approach help people notice how past attachments show up now and try new ways of relating that feel more helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In webcam or phone sessions a therapist helps identify unhelpful thinking, test those ideas, and practice alternative thoughts and behaviors between appointments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques to match the client's needs. This is a collaborative process where methods can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support without scheduling a full call. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
