About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five decades of experience in counseling. He earned his master’s degree from the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and has held an Illinois LCSW credential since 1990. He brings a long history of working with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, mood challenges, and parenting concerns.
Kenneth uses a mix of practical strategies rather than one rigid method.
Background and approach
Sessions typically include clear coping steps, short mindfulness exercises, and thought-focused work to help manage strong emotions and impulsive behavior. He also draws on experience helping people with attention differences and obsessive tendencies. He has worked with young people and adults across many life stages, including support for depression, ADHD, grief, trauma-related concerns, and relationship struggles.
He has a particular interest in helping athletes such as tennis and golf competitors with the mental side of performance. Appointments are generally available weekdays in afternoon and evening hours. Kenneth describes an eclectic approach, selecting techniques that fit each person’s needs.
Conversations in sessions are straightforward and goal oriented, focusing on what to try between meetings and what changes to track. The aim is to build tools people can use in real situations. People looking for help with anger, panic, mood swings, or parenting stress will find practical strategies and hands-on exercises.
Kenneth mixes acceptance-based ideas, cognitive tools, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

Approaches Kenneth lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Online approaches that focus on action and awareness
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to choose actions that match their values. It is often used when someone wants to reduce avoidance and act on what matters despite discomfort. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reactions. It can help with anxiety, anger, panic, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy offers brief exercises that train attention and calm the body, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus in everyday moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That planning happens early and is revisited as progress and needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people share thoughts between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or training schedules and to maintain continuity when travel or life changes occur.
