About Kenneth
Kenneth Catalanotte is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on three decades of counseling experience. He centers sessions on the person in front of him and uses straightforward conversation to help people make changes. He listens carefully and works side by side with clients to set goals and try practical steps toward them.
He has worked across a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and anger.
Background and approach
He also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep and eating struggles, low self-esteem, and life changes like career shifts or loss of purpose. He brings attention to issues such as forgiveness and isolation when those come up. Kenneth uses approaches that include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas.
That mix lets him tailor conversations to what each person needs - sometimes focusing on thoughts and behaviors, sometimes on personal meaning and values. People can expect a collaborative style in sessions. Kenneth aims to avoid a one-way direction and instead helps clients try different ways to handle problems.
He works to build practical skills, talk through painful memories, and clarify what matters most to a person. He practices in Illinois and brings 30 years of experience as an LCSW to his work. Sessions are suited to people who want clear, steady support while they navigate change, manage strong emotions like anger, or rebuild after trauma.

Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Kenneth commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and helping clients set their own goals; it is useful when someone needs support, empathy, and a steady space to talk through tough feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try practical changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kenneth works together with clients to decide which methods to try first, adjusting plans based on progress, goals, and how comfortable each person feels. That collaborative planning helps ensure therapy stays relevant and useful over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and longer work on skills, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing encouragement between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions, maintain momentum, and use therapy in ways that match daily life.
