About Kenneth
Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five decades of practice. He earned his master’s degree at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and obtained his Illinois LCSW in 1990. He brings steady experience to common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns.
He favors brief, clear conversations over long lectures. Kenneth blends practical tools from cognitive and acceptance-based approaches with mindfulness exercises.
How Kenneth works
Sessions focus on what feels most useful to the person in front of him - learning new habits, managing strong emotions, or improving daily routines. Over his career he has worked with people across life stages, including children and teenagers with attention and impulse challenges, and adults navigating ADHD, mood disorders, and parenting issues.
He has also supported people dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, and burnout-related compassion fatigue. In addition to clinical work, he helps athletes - particularly tennis and golf players - strengthen the mental side of performance. His background includes post-graduate study of rational emotive behavioral ideas and many years of hands-on counseling.
Kenneth usually schedules sessions Monday through Friday with afternoon and evening hours available. He aims to match therapy techniques to each person’s goals, using straightforward language and exercises that can fit into daily life.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and improving daily motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, helpful for stress, anger, and ADHD-related concentration issues.Kenneth approaches treatment as a collaboration. He will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and adjustments are made together as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full-session conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can support quick strategies, homework check-ins, or shorter touchpoints between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or training schedules.
