About Kenneth

Kenneth Vick, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, sleep problems, self-esteem, and LGBT concerns. He describes his way of working as creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and then helping people take steps forward.

In sessions he uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques. That means he listens for what matters most to the person and then helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that can change how they feel. He also draws on existential and narrative ideas to help people make sense of hard experiences and motivational interviewing to address change around substance use.

He has worked across a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, blended family issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, co-morbidity, commitment and communication problems, dissociation, and eating or food-related issues. His practice includes work on forgiveness and family of origin issues that often tie into current relationships.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps. Kenneth uses talk-based strategies and concrete exercises aimed at daily life. He approaches treatment as a collaborative process where the person’s preferences guide what methods are tried.

Sessions are conducted in English. He accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify their feelings and decide what to work on next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, values, and choices when facing difficult life questions or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kenneth will discuss goals, preferences, and needs and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals commonly use these benefits to maintain continuity of care and to fit sessions around work or family schedules.
