Kenneth Stall , LCSW

Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a professional license for clinical social work practice. He earned his master’s degree from the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and obtained his LCSW in 1990 after taking the first clinical exam ever offered.

Kenneth brings extensive experience across age groups and has completed post-graduate training in the basic principles of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) with Dr. Albert Ellis. While he is selective in using REBT, he draws from an eclectic set of techniques and incorporates mindfulness exercises into his work when appropriate.

He has worked extensively with children and teenagers facing challenges such as Asperger’s Disorder, ADHD, depression, and impulse disorders. His adult practice has included counseling for adult ADHD, career coaching, anxiety and depression, parenting skills training, and couples counseling. He typically schedules appointments Monday through Friday from midday into the evening, and he has a particular interest in helping tennis and golf competitors develop the mental aspects of their sport.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to accept difficult feelings while taking committed steps toward valued goals. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and patterns that hold people back from living in line with their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly applied to challenges such as depression, anxiety, panic, and problems with mood regulation by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation. It can support people coping with stress, impulsivity, and the emotional aftermath of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Kenneth Stall works collaboratively with clients to evaluate their needs, goals, and preferences and to choose methods that fit best for each person. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan that can be adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for scheduling and access. Clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, support continuity of care, and maintain momentum between meetings with a licensed professional.
