Hello, I'm Kevin Thornton, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Georgia. I have been in the mental health care field for over 30 years.  I guide, support and encourage people to find ways to live healthier lives through talk therapy.

We will be using a person-centered approach, Reality Therapy, and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT).

I believe that talk therapy works best when there is a collaborative effort to developing a healthier mindset.   My goal is to provide a  safe place for you to be open to exploring alternative ways to live a better life. I understand that seeking therapy can be a scary process; however you deserve to think better, feel better, and do better. In our sessions together, we will use evidenced-based tools and techniques to help you manage life more effectively.   I am honored to join you on this journey.

First session

In their first therapy session expect a safe and confidential space to share your concerns, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, and begin establishing a therapeutic relationship. It’s common for the counselor to gather background information, assess the your goals, and collaboratively outline a treatment plan. Overall, anticipate feeling heard, understood, and supported in the initial session.

Strengths

My greatest strengths are active listening and understanding. I have the ability to meet you were you are with compassion and empathy. I will empower you to discover effective ways to mange the difficulties in life. (stress, mood, anxiety, anger etc.)

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been a key method in my practice for many years. It’s a practical, results-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors. In my work, I use CBT to help clients break down overwhelming problems into more manageable parts—thoughts, feelings, and actions. By working together to challenge and reframe unhelpful thoughts, we can create more positive outcomes

Kevin always keeps it real for me and I’m always looking forward to our sessions. I never feel judged and always feel heard. He’s given me some great phrases to use when I’m in my head and I find myself coming back to them when needed. He injects humor and warmth while still being able to challenge my thought patterns and I feel like I’m growing ever since starting with him. I’m very satisfied and will be continuing to meet with him.

Kevin is real and easy to relate to. We were very happy with how Kevin was able to put a name to/identify some of the issues we have. He was awesome to work with!

Kevin is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! He has a uniquely gentle manner of "pushing" me out of my comfort zone so that I can grow in ways I didn't think possible. He is my catalyst to becoming the best version of myself.
