About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than five decades of clinical experience based in Illinois. He trained at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and earned his LCSW in 1990 after taking the first clinical exam offered.
Background and approach
Over a long career he has developed a varied skill set that draws on cognitive and mindfulness-based methods as well as earlier training in Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy by Dr. Albert Ellis.
Stall approaches therapy with an eclectic lens, blending techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness exercises to address concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, and mood-related conditions.
He has a history of working across different age levels and has provided counseling related to attention and impulse challenges as well as career and parenting matters. Currently he is also interested in supporting tennis and golf competitors with the mental aspects of performance.
Clients can expect a practical, experience-informed style that pairs evidence-based strategies with individualized attention to goals and preferences. He schedules sessions weekdays and offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different needs.
Integrating CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior, offering concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and mood symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify their values and take committed action while learning strategies to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for stress, avoidance, and relationship struggles. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, then adapts interventions over time to find the best fit for the client’s needs and circumstances.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexible options for scheduling and check-ins. These remote methods make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support without commuting, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor pacing and tools to each client’s routine and location.
