Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, holding license number 22616, who shifted careers in his mid-30s after a successful period working in media. He returned to school to earn a master’s degree in social work and has since spent almost 20 years practicing as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist. He works with a wide range of adults and draws on multiple therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Kevin views therapy as a partnership and places great importance on the therapeutic alliance - the collaborative relationship between client and therapist. He works with clients to set clear goals and builds a treatment plan grounded in mutual agreement and trust. His style emphasizes solution-focused strategies that help people better understand themselves, strengthen coping and problem-solving skills, and build resilience for future challenges.

His approach is eclectic, with reliance on core ideas from psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and existential therapy when appropriate. He seeks ongoing feedback and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process to refine treatment and improve the client’s experience. He has been told that his non-judgmental manner engages people who find him respectful, sincere, and easy to relate to, and his primary aim is to address clients’ challenges in ways that improve overall quality of life.
