About Kevin
Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience helping adults manage anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions. He approaches therapy as a cooperative process and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier. Kevin aims to build trust quickly so clients can set clear goals and work toward them.
Before becoming a therapist he had a career in media and later returned to school to earn a Master of Social Work.
Background and approach
That career change shaped his interest in meaningful, real-world solutions. He has worked with a wide range of adults and draws on several methods to match the needs of each person. In sessions he blends psychodynamic ideas about patterns and history with cognitive behavioral strategies for changing thoughts and behaviors.
He also uses existential ideas to help people find purpose and face big life questions. The mix supports both short-term coping and longer-term self-understanding. Kevin favors goal-focused work that builds coping skills and resiliency.
He asks for regular feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant. His style is described as non-judgmental and respectful, and he aims to make sessions straightforward and relatable. Kevin sees practical change as the outcome of a strong working relationship.
He helps people clarify what matters most, try small experiments, and learn new ways to handle anxiety, grief, addiction, or midlife struggles. His approach centers on collaboration and steady progress.
How Kevin’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship and the person’s own goals, so conversations start with what matters most to the client and move at their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and uses short exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and past influences to help explain why certain reactions keep happening.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Kevin will discuss different options and try methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a caller prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are good for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options increase flexibility and help people stay consistent with their work on anxiety, grief, addiction, and other concerns.
