About Kenneth

Kenneth Vick is an IL Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 26 years of experience. He works with adults on addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, depression, sleep problems, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions also address family of origin issues and related patterns that still affect daily life.

He uses straightforward conversation to identify recurring patterns that began in childhood and continue to shape reactions and choices. He listens for how early roles, expectations, and boundaries influence current relationships and moods. Together with clients he maps small, practical steps to shift those patterns.

He draws on client-centered methods to focus on what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to link thoughts, feelings, and behavior and to try out concrete alternatives. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels uncertain or motivation is mixed.

Narrative work and existential questions are woven in when people want to make sense of meaning, identity, or the stories they tell themselves. Sessions are conversational and goal-driven rather than strictly academic. The therapist keeps language plain and practical so ideas can be used between meetings.

Clients who are considering work on abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image, chronic illness, substance use, or communication problems will find those topics addressed as part of broader therapy. International clients can be supported in English, and practical next steps are explained before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's priorities and experiences. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps clarify goals so sessions are focused on what matters most. This approach is useful when people want a straightforward, respectful conversation about their patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy connects thoughts, feelings, and behavior in clear steps. It offers practical exercises and experiments to try between sessions and can be helpful for depression, sleep problems, and managing addictive urges. Motivational Interviewing complements CBT by exploring ambivalence and building readiness for change in small steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Ask about the available session types when you complete the short matching questionnaire. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits regular routines.
