About Kenneth (Ken) Halvorson

He offers experienced support for concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, social anxiety, and the transitions faced by both young adults and older adults. His work includes focused help with parenting, intimacy-related concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.

Ken takes a particular interest in men's issues, family systems, blended family dynamics, fatherhood concerns, and aging-related matters. He also attends to family-of-origin wounds, communication problems, forgiveness work, and the unique needs of clients who are hearing impaired.

His practice emphasizes improving communication, building resilience, and developing practical coping strategies so clients can manage life changes and move toward greater well-being.

Could Online Therapy Work for Your Situation?

Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating major life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.

One of the primary benefits is flexibility - you can connect in the way that fits your schedule and comfort level, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care during transitions.

Licensed professionals and therapists who offer remote sessions bring the same clinical training and approaches they use in person, and many clients find that remote work supports steady progress. If a particular therapeutic relationship does not feel like the right fit, it is usually possible to switch to a different therapist to find a better match.
