About Kenneth
Kenneth Lingle is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) practicing in Colorado with 22 years of clinical experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep and eating concerns, and related life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients.
Ken uses a practical, skills-focused style. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based approaches, and elements of the Gottman Method. In sessions he helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors fuel anger and stress, and then practices alternative responses in real situations.
He also addresses longer-term patterns like attachment wounds, co-dependency, and issues that come up after divorce or loss. That can include working through grief, substance-related harms in the family, or career-related stress. Ken mixes short-term techniques with work on underlying relationship patterns when that fits the client's goals.
Practical tools you can expect include thought‑reframing, mindfulness exercises, behavioral skills from DBT, and clearer communication strategies drawn from attachment and Gottman ideas. He supports clients in using these tools between sessions to manage anger and reduce reactivity over time.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for anger and relationships online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, then focus on actions that matter. ACT is useful for anger when someone wants to respond in line with their values rather than react automatically.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It includes practical exercises to reframe unhelpful thoughts and to test new behaviors, which can reduce the intensity and frequency of angry reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building more effective interpersonal communication. These skills are often paired with mindfulness practices and behavior experiments.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the patterns they want to change. Sessions can blend approaches as needed rather than stick to a single method.
