KV Portrait of Kenneth Vick

Kenneth Vick

Compassionate, experienced counselor guiding change

About Kenneth

Kenneth Vick is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois who draws on 26 years of experience to support people facing addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges with self-esteem and sleep.

Background and approach

He emphasizes a collaborative, client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's perspective and strengths while integrating practical strategies when helpful. His training includes methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative approaches, motivational interviewing, existential themes, and solution-focused strategies, allowing him to tailor care to each person's needs.

In addition to primary specialties like drug and alcohol addiction, LGBT concerns, and coping with life changes, Kenneth addresses a wide range of related difficulties including abandonment, blended family issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, eating-related problems, and communication or commitment challenges.

He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings and work toward clearer goals. For those ready to begin, he offers remote session formats and accepts international clients, with scheduling guided by availability and a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time.

Online Approaches That Meet You Where You Are



Kenneth blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support change in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully, honoring each person's experience, and building a collaborative relationship that helps people explore values, meaning, and personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical strategies to identify and revise unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and addiction-related behaviors.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful for their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single approach.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, maintain continuity during major life changes, and access care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt these remote formats to deliver conversational, skills-focused, and reflective work across many presenting concerns.
