About Kevin

Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of experience helping adults navigate tough life moments. He focuses on clear goals and a straightforward working relationship so people know what to expect. Kevin aims to build trust and a strong partnership with each person he sees.

He uses a mix of practical approaches drawn from Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions often focus on identifying immediate problems, developing coping skills, and building resilience for future challenges.

Background and approach

Kevin leans toward solution-focused work while also making room to examine deeper personal meaning when needed. Clients can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and direct collaboration about goals. Kevin checks in regularly to make sure the work remains useful and adjusts plans if something isn’t helping.

He emphasizes building skills people can use outside of sessions. Kevin’s background includes a career change into social work in his thirties after time in media, and then nearly two decades as a psychotherapist. That experience shapes a practical, down-to-earth approach that values both insight and action.

His goal is to help people reduce stress, manage mood and anxiety, and tackle relationship or identity concerns with clearer tools. He practices from Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. Kevin works with a broad range of issues including addiction, grief, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, intimacy concerns, sexual diversity topics, life purpose, and aging-related matters.

How Kevin’s Approaches Work Online

Kevin draws on Existential Therapy to help people face questions of meaning, choice, and personal responsibility, which can be useful when life changes leave someone feeling unsettled. Client-Centered Therapy is also central and emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Kevin works together with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust based on feedback. That means the plan can shift over time as needs and priorities become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed, and text or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family life and to keep momentum between appointments.
