About Kevin Wilbanks
Kevin Wilbanks is a licensed counselor in Oregon who brings 32 years of professional experience to his work with individuals, couples, and families. He emphasizes collaboration and clear listening, creating a dependable, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their goals and grow toward the life they want. Kevin frames therapy as a relational process that can provide corrective emotional experiences - for example, experiencing being truly heard and understood - and he supports clients in resolving interpersonal patterns that limit wellbeing.
His practice addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, anger, relationship conflict, parenting challenges, and life transitions. He helps clients learn skills to calm body and mind, increase awareness of how the past influences present choices, and replace self-sabotaging beliefs and unhelpful self-talk with more reality-based thoughts. He also coaches practical behavioral skills so clients can respond to life stressors more effectively and make different choices for their future.
Kevin earned a Doctorate in Counseling (D. Min) from Covington Theological Seminary in 1998 and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University in 1995. He holds professional counseling licenses including LCPC and LPC, which are state counseling credentials. His background includes 14 years of worldwide clinical counseling supporting the U.S. Armed Forces mission and leadership as CEO of a rural counseling and mediation practice from 2000 to 2008. Outside of work he enjoys playing drums and percussion, hiking, fitness, traveling, and reading.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. In online sessions Kevin helps clients explore attachment themes to improve relationships, emotional regulation, and closeness with partners or family members.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with more realistic, helpful ones. Through CBT, clients work on managing anxiety, depression, anger, and self-defeating beliefs by practicing new ways of thinking and behaving.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the client’s own goals guide the work. In this approach Kevin creates a listening space that encourages self-discovery, empowerment, and personal growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when life is changing.
