About Evan
Evan Farrell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with five years of professional experience. He works with people who face stress and anxiety, struggle with addictions, and want help with family and relationship concerns. He also supports clients dealing with self-esteem, depression, grief, anger, and career questions.
His approach is grounded in humanistic and strengths-based ideas. He focuses on building a strong working relationship and centering the conversation on what the client says matters most. Sessions emphasize practical steps and skills as well as exploring values and what a meaningful life looks like for each person.
Evan uses several evidence-informed methods to guide sessions. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take small meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness-based skills are available for emotion regulation and grounding when needed.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Evan and the client agree on what to work on and adjust the plan as progress is made. He encourages honest feedback about what is or is not helpful so sessions stay relevant to real life.
People often come for practical coping tools, clearer decision-making, or help managing intense feelings. Evan helps people break large problems into doable steps and keeps the work straightforward and concrete.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most to them and take small actions that move in that direction, even when anxiety or shame shows up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and testing new, more helpful ways of responding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Evan will discuss these methods with the client and together they will decide which strategies fit the person's goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts pacing and techniques based on feedback so the plan stays practical and relevant.
