About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Illinois with 53 years of experience. He trained at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and earned his Illinois LCSW in 1990. He works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and parenting concerns.
He uses practical methods rather than theory-heavy talk. Sessions often include skills practice, brief behavioral strategies, and mindfulness exercises. He also draws on principles from Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy learned early in his career and uses what helps a particular client.
Much of his past work involved children and teens with Asperger's, ADHD, depression, and impulse control issues, and he has substantial experience helping adults with adult ADHD, career concerns, mood disorders, and parenting skills. He has also provided couples counseling and support around grief and trauma-related problems.
More recently he has developed an interest in the mental side of sport and works with tennis and golf competitors on performance mindset and focus. His approach is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at changing patterns that fuel repeated anger or frustration.
People who contact him should expect clear, practical tools, short mindfulness practices, and direct talk about triggers and behavior. To start, follow the site steps to complete the matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How ACT, CBT and Mindfulness work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and choose actions that match your values. Online ACT sessions focus on spotting unhelpful thinking and building small steps toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches specific skills to shift those patterns. CBT online often includes homework and short practice exercises to use between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these practices can be guided during a session and repeated at home.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test a few techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Expect a mix of talking, short skill drills, and guided mindfulness rather than a single fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins during a lunch break, and remove travel time to appointments. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life contexts between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises to work over video or phone, and he will help decide which setup suits daily routines and goals.
