Getting to know Kevin Stafford

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving adults in Maryland and DC with over 20 years of experience. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, and life transitions in a space that is supportive, honest, and collaborative. I listen carefully while also offering gentle challenge so therapy leads to real change, helping you build insight, practical coping skills, and confidence to navigate life with greater clarity and steadiness.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I balance empathy with honest feedback. Therapy with me is supportive, but also active — we focus on understanding what’s happening and building practical strategies so progress continues between sessions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

In our first sessions, I focus on getting to know you, your experiences, and what feels most important to work on. Together we set goals and move at a pace that feels comfortable while building insight and coping skills. Over time, therapy shifts toward applying those tools so you feel more confident handling situations on your own.
