Dr. Kevin Lally is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. He works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and career challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.

He focuses on trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, panic and post-traumatic stress, and addiction-related concerns.

Dr. Lally uses several approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Dr. Lally commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in his work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. EMDR is an approach used with trauma-related memories to reduce their emotional charge and help people process past events. He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness techniques when needed. DBT teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings with less reactivity. Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan over time. Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Ask about available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire or schedule your first appointment.
