About Kenneth
Kenneth Bibalo is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with four years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and major life transitions. He also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, workplace issues, and anger.
Kenneth uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing different ways of responding. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas and related approaches.
He blends several approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment. That can include acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, dialectical behavior techniques for managing strong emotions, motivational interviewing to talk through readiness for change, and client-centered listening to organize the session around what matters most. These methods are used together rather than as a single rigid protocol.
Kenneth often helps people manage panic symptoms, post-traumatic stress reactions, feelings of abandonment or attachment wounds, and the fallout from separation or divorce. He also supports work on forgiveness, guilt, and building self-esteem.
Practical tasks are part of the work. That might mean tracking thoughts and moods between sessions, practicing specific coping skills, or trying small behavioral experiments. The aim is to build skills that carry into daily life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Session billing uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Kenneth commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. ACT helps people clarify values and practice actions that align with those values even when uncomfortable feelings remain.He also uses client-centered listening to structure sessions around what matters most to each person. Together these approaches aim to combine practical skill-building with conversations about what a person wants their life to look like. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as they go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Kenneth integrates tools like thought tracking, behavior experiments, and skill rehearsal into remote sessions so the work can continue between meetings.
