About Kenneth
Kenneth Bibalo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with four years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, low self-esteem, and major life changes, including grief and relationship strain. Kenneth also focuses on issues like guilt and shame, attachment and abandonment, and workplace or parenting challenges.
He uses several well-known therapy approaches and adapts them to what a person needs. Sessions are conversational and practical. Kenneth listens for patterns that keep someone stuck, then introduces skills to try between meetings.
People meet him to talk about panic and trauma, to manage anger, or to sort through decisions after separation or divorce. He also supports those coping with career shifts, compassion fatigue, and the long tail of past hurts. He explains techniques in simple language and checks in about what helps.
Kenneth blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and client-centered conversation. Motivational interviewing and some DBT skills appear when a client needs stronger emotion regulation or to change a behavior like substance use. He keeps sessions focused on immediate problems and steps forward.
If someone wants to start, Kenneth asks about goals and what has and hasn’t worked before. He uses that information to shape short-term plans and practical homework to test new ways of responding. Many people come for help sorting guilt, rebuilding self-worth, or getting through a hard transition.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without overreacting to them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with guilt, shame, and decisions about relationships or work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and for managing strong emotions after trauma.
Kenneth treats approach selection as a collaborative process. He and the client look at current problems, goals, and what the client prefers. Together they try methods for a few sessions and adjust based on what helps most.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or work break, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows practicing skills in the settings where the problems occur and reviewing homework between meetings.
