About Kevin
Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with about 20 years of practice. He focuses on helping adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and identity concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to build a straightforward, collaborative relationship with each person he sees.
Kevin approaches therapy as a partnership. He and the client set clear goals together and check in regularly to see what is or isn’t working.
How Kevin works
Sessions emphasize practical problem solving, improving coping skills, and building resilience for future challenges. His work draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and how past experiences shape present feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior.
Existential ideas help people clarify values and find meaning during life transitions. Kevin has a background outside of clinical work, having changed careers to social work in his mid-30s, and that life experience informs his flexible, nonjudgmental style. He focuses on creating a respectful space where adults can talk honestly about shame, intimacy, grief, or questions about identity.
Practical concerns like stress, career questions, and coping with major life changes are part of the work he does. He encourages ongoing feedback so therapy stays relevant and aligned with each person’s goals. The aim is to leave clients with clearer choices and stronger tools for everyday life.

How Kevin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It helps people feel heard, clarify goals, and try changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, lift mood, or manage addiction cravings. Psychodynamic therapy examines recurring life patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions, which can help with long-term relationship and intimacy issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on feedback. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s needs and preferences rather than assuming one fixed style.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and text messaging helps with brief updates or between-session reflections. These options make it simpler to keep consistent work on coping skills, life transitions, and managing stress without major scheduling hurdles.
