KM Portrait of Keith McCann

Keith McCann, LMFT

Practical therapy for anxiety and life change

About Keith

Keith McCann is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.

Background and approach

His approach is straightforward and practical so parents can quickly see what therapy looks like in real life. Keith listens closely to each person’s story and treats them as the expert on their own life.

He focuses on building strengths and small, realistic steps that lead to lasting change. Sessions are direct and respectful, with simple tools to manage strong feelings and improve daily functioning.

He often works on communication problems, impulsivity, forgiveness, and finding life purpose. He also addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and issues many men face when asking for help.

The aim is to reduce symptoms and build confidence in everyday situations. Clients can expect a calm, steady presence in sessions and clear guidance on what to practice between visits.

Keith encourages people to try techniques and then talk about what did and did not help. He stresses small progress over quick fixes and adjusts strategies as needed.

Keith is licensed in California as an LMFT, which reflects his long-standing clinical practice in the state. He offers sessions in English and uses a practical, goal-focused style to help people move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Keith uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying and changing thoughts that fuel anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood; these methods teach practical skills for noticing and shifting automatic thinking. Trauma-informed approaches help people process past harm at a pace they can handle, reduce intrusive memories, and rebuild a sense of safety and control.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Keith will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, concerns, and day-to-day needs. He checks in about what helps and makes adjustments so the work fits the client's life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges when a full session isn't needed. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family obligations.
