About Kevin
Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience. He helps adults who are facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship strain, addiction, grief, and life transitions. He keeps things straightforward and works together with each person to set practical goals and steady progress.
He began his career in media and later returned to school for a Master of Social Work. That change came from a desire for more meaningful work and led to two decades as a psychotherapist.
Background and approach
His background gives him experience with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, intimacy issues, and LGBT-related matters. Kevin uses an eclectic mix of approaches. He draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person's story.
He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also brings ideas from psychodynamic and existential work to examine patterns and life meaning. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps.
He looks for what is working now and what can be changed. He asks for regular feedback to keep the work aligned with a client's needs. People who choose him often appreciate a respectful, non-judgmental approach.
He aims to help clients build better coping skills, solve problems, and increase resilience for future challenges.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Kevin uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experience at the center of sessions, focusing on listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship that supports goal setting and change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to practice concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Kevin treats the selection as collaborative, helping each person test what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. He asks for ongoing feedback and adjusts techniques so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes or check in between sessions and can fit into busy days without needing to be on camera.
