About Kenneth
Kenneth Vick is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 26 years of experience. He works with adults facing addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, and issues of self-esteem. He also addresses related struggles such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness and pain, and forgiveness.
He practices in a straightforward, client-centered way. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing to the person. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life.
Kenneth uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and to try small, practical changes. He also draws on narrative approaches to help people separate themselves from troubling stories they’ve carried. These methods can be useful for addiction, trauma, and relationship problems.
Motivational interviewing is part of his approach when making change feels overwhelming. He helps people clarify why a change matters and what small next steps might look like. Existential ideas are used when clients want to think about meaning, responsibility, and values.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Kenneth aims to reduce shame and guilt by examining actions and the beliefs attached to them. To start, he asks about what led someone to seek help and what they hope to do differently.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online conversations use the same stance - the therapist follows the client's lead and clarifies concerns so sessions feel focused and practical.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online work can include reviewing thought patterns, trying short behavioral experiments between sessions, and tracking small changes in daily routines to reduce guilt or depressive thinking.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories they tell about themselves. In an online session, this can mean re-authoring those stories and testing alternative ways of describing past events and choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people work on behavioral experiments and homework between meetings without rearranging their whole day.
