More about me
Licensing: MA, LCPC Years in Practice: 3 State: Illinois
Welcome! I'm so glad you're here! I'm Sara, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with over three years of experience in helping individuals discover and live a life which feels valuable to them. I have extensive experience in treating depression, dysthymia, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, relationship distress, and traumatic histories.
My counseling style is warm and collaborative. I love the process of learning my clients and their lives, to gather a whole picture and determine what interventions and techniques will be most effective. The therapeutic space I provide is non-judgemental, curious, and steady. My approach uses dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered, and psychodynamic theories.
Being here is a MAJOR step. I'm already so proud, and I can't wait to meet you!
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
