About Kenneth
Kenneth Leggin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with six years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, career concerns, depression, addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, and parenting worries.
Kenneth focuses on practical steps you can use outside sessions. He talks through what sparks your anger and frustration and looks at patterns that repeat at home or work. Sessions include straightforward skill building for emotion regulation, communication, and impulse control.
He draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice thoughts and change unhelpful responses. That can look like testing new behaviors, practicing different responses, and tracking what helps reduce tension over time.
Kenneth also helps with related areas that often feed into anger. That includes caregiver stress, control issues, workplace problems, money worries, and difficulties with forgiveness or life purpose. He works in English and accepts clients from outside the United States.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative. Kenneth will listen to your goals, try straightforward tools, and adjust what you practice based on what works. To start, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How ACT, CBT and DBT fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and moving toward values-based action. It can help when anger comes from stuck thoughts or avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce impulsive responses and improve communication.Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods collaboratively, adjusting based on how the exercises land in your life. Expect an active give-and-take about what tools fit your situation and what needs more practice.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it possible for international clients to connect. Kenneth uses the approaches above in remote work the same way he does in person, focusing on skills you can practice between sessions and on ways to manage anger in daily routines.
