About Kenneth

Kenneth Vick is a licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on helping people face life’s hard questions and find clearer direction. He brings a calm, direct style and 26 years of experience to conversations about addiction, trauma, depression, relationships, and intimacy-related concerns. He aims to make the first steps less overwhelming.

Sessions are meant to be a place where people can say difficult things without judgment. Kenneth values honest talk and practical next steps that match each person's pace.

Background and approach

His work draws on existential ideas that look at meaning, choice, and responsibility alongside client-centered listening. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques when people want tools to change thoughts and behaviors, and motivational interviewing to support change around substance use and other habits. In practice Kenneth helps with sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and the fallout from family of origin issues.

He also addresses eating and body image concerns, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and reactions to natural or man-made disasters. He is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC. Sessions are offered in English and he is available to work with international clients.

The focus is on clear conversation, manageable goals, and steady support as people move toward change.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and what matters most in a person’s life. It helps when people feel stuck, empty, or unsure about their next steps. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and reflecting what a person says so they can hear themselves more clearly. This approach helps build trust and supports emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and habit change.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. Over a few sessions they will adjust the plan so it feels helpful and realistic rather than fixed from the start.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, between-session coaching, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people keep continuity of care despite busy lives.
