Hello!
My name is Callie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Illinois. I have 5 years of experience and have worked with individuals with a variety of concerns; including depression, anxiety, anger management, self-esteem, and relationship issues.
My approach to therapy is laid back, warm, and friendly. I use strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy; and I always start therapy from where YOU are at. My hope is to help you from where you are now to where you want to be!
I look forward to working with 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.
