About Kevin
Dr. Kevin Lally is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, and social anxiety and phobia among other concerns.
He uses clear, evidence-informed approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and solution-focused techniques to build practical tools for everyday life.
Dr. Lally has substantial experience supporting people after trauma and with PTSD. His background includes work with survivors of physical and emotional abuse, and he uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as one of his trauma-focused methods. He has also worked with issues such as addiction, panic attacks, bipolar mood concerns, and struggles with guilt and shame.
Outside clinical work he teaches graduate and undergraduate social work students. That teaching role keeps him connected to current evidence and clinical practice. He approaches sessions with a focus on concrete steps, skill practice, and measurable progress.
People who choose him often want straightforward tools for coping, clearer thinking about relationships and career, and help managing intense emotions. He works in English and is available to international clients; prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats before booking.
How his approaches translate to online work
Dr. Lally uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and social anxiety by focusing on what to try differently and how to practice it.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma-focused work. EMDR helps people process distressing memories using structured sets of attention and memory processing, which some people find useful for post-traumatic stress and trauma symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, EMDR, DBT skills, or a solution-focused path makes the most sense. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Some people prefer video for face-to-face discussion, while others use audio for simpler check-ins; discuss what fits your needs during the first scheduling step.
