All of us face difficulties or unexpected challenges at some point in our lives, and sometimes it can feel too overwhelming to manage on our own. I have a compassionate, supportive, and caring approach to counseling, and I know reaching out for help is not easy. Through the counseling process, I can help you to find some peace of mind, and develop your inner strength to move forward.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I have over sixteen years of counseling experience. I earned my graduate degree in marriage and family counseling in California in 2005, and my wife and I moved to Texas in 2009.
My counseling style combines compassion and empathy with a solution-focused approach, utilizing various forms of mindfulness and cognitive-based therapies, such as acceptance commitment therapy, to explore how thoughts and coping styles influence how we manage our feelings. I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, men's issues, trauma, and relationship issues; and, I help my clients to counter irrational thoughts and beliefs, assess their needs, build on their strengths, and focus on their goals.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Kevin exceeds my expectations in every way.
I have really enjoyed our exchanges. I found Kevin insightful and effective as well as compassionate and empathetic. I would definitely refer him to friends and family.
Kevin is wonderful. He showed so much interest and concern and always checked on me. He is very intuitive and I greatly appreciate his help!
Kevin is amazing. Great listener, and attentive to my needs. His ability to bring my situation into a biblical context is very helpful.
I have a pretty good experience with Kevin as my counselor. He is a good listener, supportive and non- Jugdemental.
Kevin has been great. Very understanding and very supportive. He is never judgmental and always has an answer for me or a better way to deal with life’s issues.
Kevin Brugman is by far the best therapist I have had over the years-and I have had several.
Kevin Brugman is extremely well qualified, compassionate, attentive and probably the best therapist I have had or even heard of. He is the perfect therapist for my needs and concerns.
Kevin is a breath of fresh air. After cycling through many different counselors over the years, I feel like I’m finally connected, growing, and being equipped with tools that are improving my mental well-being and my relationship with my wife. Kevin is patient, compassionate, non-judgemental, and brings a depth of experience to our sessions. I am so thankful he takes time for clients on BetterHelp. As a dad with two young kids, my time for counseling is limited. But thankfully for BetterHelp, I can put my kids to bed and then go back to my office for our evening session. This has been a blessing.
Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Beyond that, he truly listens and offers support and solutions. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist.
Kevin is smart and caring. Without his help I would never have found out what was causing my deep seated issues. He is thoughtful and well educated on ways that help my mental state.
Kevin is a great listener and helps me to reframe my challenges. I like how he enables me to see - and appreciate - situations from a different perspective. The fact that Kevin is one season in life ahead of me is also a blessing! He has great practical advice to offer in the areas of marriage and parenting.
Kevin is caring, patient and asks excellent questions. I feel blessed to have him as my counselor!
Reasonable and compassionate, great counselor
Kevin is very caring, down to earth, honest, and overall a great specialist who implements a good mix of organic discussion with empirically-based physical techniques for dealing with anxiety and other emotions. Thank you
Kevin has been a great help to me
Kevin is a great listener and thoughtful about when and what he shares. I greatly appreciate his listening ear, timely comments, and kind spirit.
Kevin is able to help me talk through my problems, and provides me with exercises and other external resources that I can use independently. I'm happy with how things are going so far, and I think there has been some improvement in the short time I've been speaking to Kevin.
