Kenneth Stall, LCSW

Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than five decades of practice. He earned his masters degree from the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and has been an LCSW since 1990. His long career includes work with a wide range of concerns and ages.

He blends practical skills with straightforward conversation. Sessions often include behavior-focused strategies, mindfulness exercises, and discussion about daily routines. He uses approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness work to help people notice patterns and try different choices.

His background includes post-graduate study of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy with Dr. Albert Ellis, and long experience supporting people with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and impulse-related concerns. He has also worked with those facing attachment challenges, grief, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife changes.

Kenneth has substantial experience helping parents, supporting people with relationship and intimacy issues, and coaching clients on career and performance concerns. He also works with athletes on the mental side of tennis and golf performance.

Sessions are typically scheduled Monday through Friday in afternoon and evening hours. People looking to start therapy choose a match questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits their needs.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take steps toward them even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. It focuses on practical actions rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, daily demands, and what feels most useful. That decision is revisited as needs change so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Confirm the session formats available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in their everyday routines and bring real-life examples into sessions for immediate discussion.
