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!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
