About Kenneth

Kenneth Stall is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five decades of clinical experience. He trained at the Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work in Chicago and earned his Illinois LCSW in 1990. He brings a long history of working with people across the lifespan and a practical approach to everyday problems.

He uses a mix of strategies rather than a single method. Kenneth learned the basic ideas of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy from Dr. Albert Ellis and often combines cognitive techniques with mindfulness exercises. He describes his style as selective and eclectic, choosing what fits each person’s situation.

His background includes work with attention and impulse concerns, mood struggles, and parenting challenges. He has years of experience supporting people with ADHD, depression, anxiety, and impulse-related difficulties. He has also done career coaching and helped people strengthen relationships and parenting skills.

Kenneth has worked extensively with children and teenagers diagnosed with Asperger's disorder, ADHD, depression, and impulse disorders, and he has substantial experience providing counseling to adults for ADHD, mood, and anxiety concerns. He also has experience offering couples counseling.

More recently he has developed a focused interest in the mental side of sport. He works with tennis and golf competitors on performance-related thoughts and routines. To begin, readers can use the site tools to match and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness Come Together Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce stress and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Kenneth will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. The first sessions often involve trying simple tools and seeing how they fit into daily life.

Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for consistent check-ins during workday breaks. They can also support focused, skill-based work like thought records, mindfulness practice, and sport performance routines without requiring an office visit.
