Dr. Kevin Keating, LMHC

Dr. Kevin Keating is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 15 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem challenges, and major life changes. His work also addresses caregiver strain, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, and career or life-purpose questions.

He practices in a calm, nonjudgmental manner and focuses on listening first. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. He aims to make conversations straightforward and useful so clients can take small steps forward between meetings.

Dr. Keating draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. He also uses existential and narrative ideas to help people find meaning or reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves.

In practical terms he helps people notice patterns that increase suffering and try new behaviors that fit their values. He supports caregivers coping with stress and people navigating midlife transitions or aging-related changes. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Clients can expect concise, direct conversations about problems and options. The goal is clearer choices and manageable next steps rather than quick fixes. He works in English and practices in Florida as an FL LMHC.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Keating frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and practice actions that match those values, which can ease the pull of anxiety or avoidance. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying behavioral experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

He also brings client-centered principles to sessions by prioritizing listening and the client's perspective. That means deciding together which methods to try and adjusting the plan based on what feels useful. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process that depends on each person's goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to include discussing caregiver routines, midlife planning, or managing symptoms between appointments. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches and a session rhythm that fit day-to-day life.
