About Kevin Farrell

Kevin Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California (license #22616) with two decades of experience as a clinical social worker and psychotherapist. After a successful early career in media, he returned to school in his mid-30s to earn a Master of Social Work and pursue a more personally meaningful professional path. He has since worked with a wide range of adult clients using a variety of therapeutic tools and methods.

Farrell views therapy as a collaborative process and places strong emphasis on the therapeutic alliance - the working relationship between client and therapist. He partners with each client to set clear goals and to build a shared plan for progress, believing that trust and agreement about objectives are central to effective work.

His practice is eclectic, drawing on core concepts from psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and existential therapy. He often emphasizes solution-focused strategies that help clients deepen self-understanding, strengthen coping and problem-solving skills, and build resilience for future challenges. Throughout treatment he seeks ongoing feedback and collaborates with clients to refine the process and improve their experience.

Clients have described his style as non-judgmental, respectful, and sincere, and they find him easy to relate to. His primary aim is to address presenting challenges in ways that enhance overall quality of life.
