About Kenneth

Kenneth Lingle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Colorado with 22 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, parenting strain, self-esteem struggles, and anger. Sessions are aimed at helping people handle practical problems and painful feelings without judgment.

Ken uses straightforward, problem-focused methods. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-Based approaches to help people notice patterns, change unhelpful habits, and repair relationships. He also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are relevant.

His sessions tend to focus on skill-building and real-life changes. That can include noticing thoughts that escalate anger, learning breathing and grounding strategies, practicing communication skills, and setting goals for different behaviors. Ken also works with issues that often sit behind anger, such as grief, addiction, or unresolved trauma.

Ken’s style is direct and practical. He helps people weigh options and try specific steps between sessions. Over time the work is about identifying small changes that reduce stress and keep difficult feelings from growing into bigger problems.

Ken practices from Colorado and offers services in English. He accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting pulled into them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move life in a chosen direction, which can reduce the hold of anger and resentment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and practice different responses when stress or anger arise.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why certain triggers feel so big and practice new ways of relating that interfere less with calm communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing happen together so the plan reflects what feels doable and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. That practical flexibility can help keep momentum while practicing skills between appointments.
