Kevin Kramer

Kevin Kramer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. He works with clients concerned about relationship strain, intimacy, self-esteem, grief, and life changes. He also supports LGBT clients and those facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, or career stress.

Kevin uses a straightforward, compassionate style in sessions. He listens first and helps people name what feels most urgent. Then he and the person work together on practical steps to reduce symptoms and regain daily function. He favors clear skills people can try between meetings.

His work draws on client-centered methods that focus on the person’s needs and goals. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. When trauma is part of the story, he incorporates trauma-focused work to address the impact of past events.

Kevin has spent many years helping people through major transitions, chronic health challenges, and periods of isolation. He pays attention to how life roles - like caregiver or first responder - affect stress and coping. His aim is to help people find manageable change, not quick fixes.

People who choose Kevin can expect a calm, direct approach and a focus on practical problem solving. He encourages small experiments in daily life so progress is noticeable. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Kevin blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to make online sessions feel focused and practical. Client-centered therapy means sessions start with the person's concerns and goals, and the therapist follows their lead while offering support and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior and practicing small changes that reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

He also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events are affecting daily life. That work aims to help people process the impact of trauma in manageable steps and build coping strategies that reduce reactivity over time. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; he will help figure out the best fit based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one method suits everyone.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Many people find online work helps fit appointments around work, caregiving, or medical needs, and it can make regular check-ins easier to maintain. Online sessions also allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work depending on what someone needs that week.
