About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings over five decades of practice to sessions. He trained at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and earned his Illinois LCSW in 1990. He has a long history of helping people manage stress, anxiety, and mood challenges.
He uses a mix of methods tailored to the person in front of him. That includes cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness exercises to help change unhelpful thoughts and build steady habits.
Background and approach
He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Early in his career he studied the principles behind Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy with Dr. Albert Ellis, and that influence still appears in how he addresses thinking patterns.
He has worked across many age ranges and with varied concerns including ADHD, depression, impulse issues, and grief. He also offers career coaching and support for parenting challenges. Kenneth takes an eclectic approach rather than using one fixed style.
Sessions are practical and focused on skills people can use between meetings. He has a particular interest in the mental side of sport and works with tennis and golf competitors on performance and mindset. He practices from Illinois and conducts online sessions in English.
His availability typically falls on weekdays with a range of midday and evening hours.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people name their values and take action toward them even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and problems where people want clearer direction about what matters.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, targets thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build new habits, which helps with panic, depression, and obsessive thoughts.
Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness using short practices and breathing exercises. It helps reduce reactivity and supports ongoing self-regulation for anxiety and anger.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Kenneth works collaboratively to see which ideas fit a person's goals and preferences, and he adjusts methods over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit a break at work. Live chat or text sessions are useful for brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer appointments.
