About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 53 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment, blended family matters, divorce and separation, fatherhood, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and midlife struggles.
He trained at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and earned his LCSW in 1990. His early post-graduate work included study of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy with Dr. Albert Ellis. He describes himself as eclectic in technique and applies practical methods such as mindfulness exercises alongside cognitive approaches.
He has long experience with children and teenagers who face Asperger's, ADHD, depression, and impulse control problems. He has also worked with adults on adult ADHD, career coaching, depression and anxiety, parenting skills, and couples issues. He mentions a current interest in the mental side of tennis and golf performance.
In sessions he uses straightforward, skills-based work. That includes talking through thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness exercises, and teaching strategies to manage impulses and mood. He also helps people develop parenting strategies and improve communication in relationships.
People looking for a seasoned Illinois LCSW who uses cognitive and mindfulness tools may find his approach practical and direct. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used when clients want to reduce avoidance and live with more purpose rather than chase immediate relief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It involves identifying distorted thoughts, testing them, and learning new coping skills for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thinking.
Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention exercises and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve concentration. It can help with impulsivity, stress, mood regulation, and aspects of ADHD.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to see which combination of ACT, CBT, and mindfulness fits their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and adjustments are discussed together.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and remove travel time so work or family commitments are easier to manage.
