About me

I am an Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in Texas. I have worked in the field for over 20 years. I have practiced in substances abuse, psychiatric issues, trauma, abuse, relational and family circumstances. I have worked with a variety of ages, genders, and races. I have practiced in Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, Georgia and Missouri.

In working with youths, I have assisted with circumstances related to social isolation, trauma, personal boundaries, goal setting and boundaries. I have helped with communication issues both in the home or in social settings. Sometimes we find ourselves struggling with defining ourselves, being comfortable with ourselves or struggling with self-esteem and strength enough to take personal responsibility or set our goals.

I utilize multiple approaches based on the collaborative process between myself and the persons I am working with. I bring the technical expertise while they bring the values expertise. It is my approach to work with the person based on seeing them as a whole individual wanting to address their quality of life.

As a person who has also worked on military bases, in home therapy, inpatient therapy, nursing homes, schools, and outpatient settings, I believe people are experts in their needs, circumstances and experiences (all of which are unique to them). If you are wanting to address your quality of life and gain the skills and strength to address them, I am ready to work with you.

Please reach out to me and I look forward to assisting you.

Mr. McCoy responds quickly and takes the time to laugh at my son's jokes and talk about all the things that concern him.

My dude is so good at his job, that he has some how managed to tell me right from wrong in my dreams haha. honestly I have been working with kelvin for 6 months and my life has complete changed. he helps me when I begin to fall back into old habits. I can honestly say when I do fall its not bad like a falling behind 7 steps. its more like 1 step back. he doesn't get disappointed but he helps me get up while also letting me learn my lesson. He's help me so much repair a bonds with my family. so much that its healed my inner child. I don't know the place I would be without him. Thank you Kelvin for everything.

I spent what was about 12 weeks working with Kelvin. He's a personable, intelligent and thoughtful individual. He challenged me to think about and process what was causing my challenges, provided me numerous resources (videos, readings, etc.), and we discussed them at every meeting. I feel very comfortable that I now have learned/re-learned the skills I can use to live more present and for myself and my family, thanks to Kelvin's help. I highly recommend Kelvin.

I’ve been doing therapy for a couple months now and Kelvin McCoy has helped me tremendously. Although I’ve still got a long ways to go, I am extremely confident that he will assist me in my journey for self help. I’ve been through so much and he has been available to me every step of the way. He always responds in a timely manner and will even suggest videos to help with whatever it is I am dealing with. One thing I appreciate the most is the fact that he can recall something that I had mentioned before, which to me, means that he does listen to all that I’ve said to him.

Kelvin helped me through the hardest breakup I have ever gone through. In my humble opinion, therapy only works if you are willing to put the work in, and I wanted to do the work. Kelvin told me what to do and led me down a path of finding self respect, a new sense of purpose, and outlook in dealing with relationships. I’m forever thankful for it and will continue to work with him in the future. Highly recommended.

Kelvin has really been an inspiration to me in a lot of ways. I especially appreciate his background in working with military personnel such as myself. He takes the time to listen but also chimes in with beneficial words. He assigns appropriate “homework” which guides our future sessions. I know I am better for having started counseling with Kelvin!

Written on Aug 20, 2022 after therapy with Kelvin for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and coping with life changes

Kelvin has been a lot of help to me. He has been very kind and professional. I feel like I was in a pretty bad place before I started talking to him but he has helped me move forward in a much more positive way. It’s nice to be able to have contact with him whenever I need it. Being in a different time zone is hard but he has always worked hard to be understanding with my schedule. He is a very kind person and I’m thankful that I was matched with him~~

I am very glad to have Mr. McCoy as my therapist. I learned a lot about myself, controlling my emotions and finding the positive in my life to feel better. Mr. McCoy understands my problems and difficulties very well, so he always tries to show me the best way to solve them. A lot more positivity came into my life when I started listening to Mr. McCoy's advice. Definitely, I am extremely grateful for the attention, understanding and help I have found in this therapy.

Kelvin's guidence and insights have been excellent. I started not knowing if this was something I had the strength to do. He has shown me how much control I have over my life. I would highly recommend him and the teencounseling.com service.

I am very grateful to Kelvin McCoy and his wonderful work to help me. When I first met Kelvin I was both physically and mentally ill. Through his work I have become much healthier and happier. Both the sessions with him and the videos and readings he suggested have been most helpful. I have and will continue to recommend him and teen counseling to those whom I feel are in need. Thank you Kelvin and God Bless you!!!

I believe it's important to feel challenged and understood when going through therapy. I believed that I have been guided and challenged, feel like I've been listened to, and supported. Kelvin always responds in a timely manner which has been helpful when I feel stuck. His outside assignments make me think and are always relevant. I appreciate the time he has put into our sessions to help me start making progress and see that it's possible to continue to do so.

Right from the first session, I started healing and I have recommended therapy to everyone going through any form of grieve or depression that I know off. Kelvin McCoy understood me a great deal and has helped me walk through this process with ease that I find myself talking about him to almost anyone who cares to listen. It’s been an amazing journey so far.

I've never done therapy in my life, but meeting with Kelvin has been incredibly helpful. Who knew just having someone to talk to and send random messages to about your feelings could help. He always responds quickly, truly listens, asks questions that truly make me think,
