Kenneth Vick

Kenneth Vick is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 26 years of experience helping people navigate addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. He focuses on life purpose and on practical steps people can take when they feel stuck after a change. Sessions are held in English and he accepts international clients.

Kenneth works in a straightforward, person-focused way. He listens to what matters to the client, then uses conversational tools to clarify goals. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors that keep problems stuck.

He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change when they feel ambivalent. Narrative Therapy features in sessions as a way to look at the stories people tell about themselves and decide which parts to hold onto and which to revise. These approaches are used together to address concerns like addiction, intimacy issues, sleep disruption, and self-esteem difficulties.

Kenneth has worked with a wide range of issues connected to family of origin, blended family strain, body image, chronic illness, and substance use. He helps people talk through abandonment, commitment, and communication problems without clinical jargon. His background includes long-term clinical work across settings over more than two decades.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How Kenneth uses approaches in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy in Kenneth's work focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says so they feel understood and can find their own direction. It helps when someone is unsure what matters next and needs space to sort priorities aloud.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. In short online sessions this can mean setting small experiments or practice tasks to try between meetings, which is useful for issues like depression, sleep problems, or substance use.

Motivational Interviewing helps people who feel mixed about change. Online conversations use open questions and reflective listening to draw out reasons for change and to build momentum without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what they want to address first. That choice can shift as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they sort work, relationships, and life purpose questions.
