About Kevin
Kevin Brugman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting concerns, and relationship struggles. He writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make it easier to talk about hard topics. Kevin draws on sixteen years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward.
His approach is calm and straightforward. Sessions focus on what is bothering the person now and what small changes could help.
Background and approach
He uses mindfulness skills to slow racing thoughts and cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. Kevin also works from acceptance-based ideas that encourage clients to notice difficult feelings without getting stuck in them. He brings in narrative and existential perspectives when people need to make sense of life changes or find clearer direction and purpose.
Many clients come with issues tied to family of origin, fatherhood, blended family dynamics, or communication breakdowns. He helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of relating and responding. Practical exercises and short between-session tasks are common parts of his work.
Kevin aims to create an open, respectful space for people to talk through shame, guilt, anger, or feelings of emptiness. He focuses on steady progress and on building skills that can be used long after sessions end.

How Kevin’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It uses values-based goals so clients can take steps toward a meaningful life even while uncomfortable emotions remain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression. It often includes brief exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kevin will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and daily life. He adapts ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to match what the client needs and checks in regularly to refine the plan.
Online sessions use video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options let people fit counseling into busy schedules and access care from different locations within Texas.
