About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five decades of experience in mental health. He earned his master’s degree from the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and holds an IL LCSW license. He has a long career helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.
He also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and mood concerns. Kenneth takes a practical, no-nonsense approach in sessions.
Background and approach
He uses clear tools from cognitive-behavioral frameworks and acceptance-based methods, along with mindfulness exercises. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings. He aims to break problems into manageable steps and to set realistic goals.
His experience includes work with people across many life stages and presentations, including attention differences and compulsive behaviors. He has spent years addressing mood disorders, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and the aftereffects of trauma. He also works with people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, divorce and blended-family adjustments, and fatherhood concerns.
Kenneth also brings a background in rational emotive behavioral ideas from early post-graduate study, and he blends different techniques to match each person’s needs. He has a particular interest in the mental side of sport performance, offering practical coaching for tennis and golf competitors. Appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Sessions use a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the platform’s matching and booking process.
Evidence-based methods for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while handling difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, worry, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and emotional regulation.Kenneth treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. He will talk with the person about current goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what works in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for fuller conversations and skill practice. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, short coaching moments, or days when writing feels more comfortable. These options help people fit sessions into work, family time, or travel without losing continuity of care.
