About Kenneth

Kenneth Vick is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 26 years of experience. He works with people struggling with addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, self-esteem, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. He also addresses concerns related to LGBT issues and a range of related problems.

He focuses on conversation that is straightforward and personal. Sessions aim to identify what is most troubling, and then try practical steps to reduce distress and improve daily routines. Kenneth uses a mix of methods to match the issue being discussed rather than relying on one single technique.

Over his career he has supported people dealing with substance use and co-occurring problems, chronic pain or illness, body image and eating concerns, and the impact of family of origin difficulties. He pays attention to how life events like abandonment, blended family stress, or trauma shape current relationships and behavior.

His work includes approaches that encourage clear problem solving and thought patterns, as well as talking through life meaning and personal motivation. He brings Motivational Interviewing into conversations about change, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories. Practical goals, day-to-day coping strategies, and better communication skills are common focuses in sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The first steps are a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session using the platform's online options.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully to the person's experience and reflecting that back to help clarify feelings and choices. It is useful when someone needs a respectful, steady conversation about what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep stress and mood problems going. It uses practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with things like sleep, anxiety, low mood, and addictive habits.

Existential Therapy invites people to talk about meaning, responsibility, and the choices they face. This approach can help when life transitions or big questions about identity and purpose are part of the difficulty.

Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. Kenneth will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them as therapy progresses to match what the person finds most helpful.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from the equation. It also gives flexibility for people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a simpler option for a quick session.
