About Kennan
Kennan DeWitt is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Michigan with 16 years of experience.

He affirms LGBTQ+ clients and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard things.
Kennan uses straightforward methods that match each person's goals and situation. He listens first, then suggests tools people can use between sessions to manage mood, reduce anxiety, and handle cravings or impulsive urges.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building, problem solving, and clear steps for moving forward. He brings a mix of cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies to work on unhelpful thinking and to strengthen values-driven action. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and narrative techniques can help people reframe difficult life stories.
The exact approach depends on what the client wants to achieve. Kennan has worked in settings that involve stress, court-related issues, trauma, and life transitions, so he is familiar with practical barriers people face. He supports people through separation and divorce, caregiver strain, midlife shifts, and struggles with shame or guilt.
Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.
How Kennan Uses Approaches Online
Kennan commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help people make changes that matter. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and build commitment to goals when someone feels unsure about taking the next step.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kennan listens to each person's concerns, priorities, and daily routine, then suggests strategies to try together. He checks progress and adjusts methods when something isn't working, so the plan stays practical and relevant to the client's goals.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while working on stress, mood, addiction, or life changes.
