About Kevin
Kevin McGarvey is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and relationship strain. Kevin aims to treat people with respect and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.
He has worked largely in partial hospital settings, supporting people with significant mental illness, and he also has experience in individual outpatient care. That background includes time helping people who have been diagnosed with personality disorders. Kevin draws on those settings to shape sessions that feel grounded and realistic.
Kevin views the person as the expert in their own life. He pays attention to the problems that make daily routines harder and works with clients to reduce those pressures. Diagnosis is treated as one piece of information, not the whole story.
Sessions tend to be relaxed and conversational. Kevin listens for each person's priorities, background, and what has or hasn’t helped before. He then adjusts the plan so goals feel achievable and relevant to everyday life.
He welcomes questions before beginning therapy and recognizes that first steps can feel difficult. Prospective clients are encouraged to reach out and use the initial conversation to see if his approach feels like a good fit.
How Kevin's approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the client. The therapist offers empathy and adjusts the pace to each person's needs, which can feel useful when addressing worries about sleep, mood, or daily stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward tools to notice thoughts and behaviors and then test small changes. That approach can help with anxiety, panic, insomnia, and repetitive negative thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kevin collaborates with clients to decide which style fits their goals and preferences. He will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps in real life.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also lets people try approaches like CBT worksheets or mindfulness practices between meetings, which can help build better sleep and stress habits over time.
