Online Therapy for Adults and Couples in Illinois

Finding a therapist online can feel like another decision to make when you're already feeling overwhelmed. You might be struggling with anxiety, finding yourself putting everyone else's needs before your own, or noticing the same relationship patterns showing up again and again.

At Self Compassion Counseling, I offer virtual therapy for adults and couples throughout Illinois who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and make meaningful changes in how they relate to others.

How Online Therapy Works

I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform to ensure your privacy. Before your session, you’ll receive a link to join from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Benefits of Online Therapy

  • No commute – save time and energy

  • Comfortable environment – join from your own home or private space

  • Consistency – keep up with sessions even when traveling within Illinois

  • Accessibility – ideal for parents, professionals, and those with mobility needs

Does Online Therapy Really Work?

Yes. Research shows online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions for many concerns, including anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma. Clients often share that they feel more at ease and open when meeting from a familiar space.

Who is Online Therapy For?

I offer online therapy for individuals and couples anywhere in Illinois. It’s especially helpful if you:

  • Have a busy schedule

  • Live outside of Chicago

  • Prefer privacy from your own space

  • Feel anxious about coming into an office

Who I Help

  • Women healing after a breakup or divorce

    For women who want to rebuild self-trust, understand their past relationship patterns, and feel more grounded as they consider dating or relationships again.

  • Couples wanting to change relationship patterns

    For partners who feel stuck in repeated conflicts, struggle to communicate their needs, or want to build a healthier relationship before resentment grows between them.

  • Adults navigating anxiety and people-pleasing

    For people who overthink, feel responsible for others' emotions, struggle to set boundaries, or feel guilty for having needs of their own.

Online Therapy Policy

anxiety therapist chicago

I meet with clients for online therapy sessions on Zoom, offering support and guidance in a nurturing and confidential environment. My approach is tailored to help you navigate challenges such as anxiety, self-worth, and relationship issues.

Here are a few important things to keep in mind:

  • In our first session, I will confirm your name, date of birth, and address. If we are meeting at your workplace, please provide the physical address to ensure your safety in case of an emergency. This information helps me ensure that appropriate measures can be taken if urgent assistance is ever needed.

  • To protect privacy, please do not record me or our sessions in any way without written permission.

  • It's crucial to find a private space that is free from distractions or intrusions during our meetings. Ensure that your meeting space is quiet, private, and well-lit to create an optimal environment for our discussions.

  • If you're meeting at home with others nearby, I recommend letting others know that you are going to be unavailable each week for the next hour and use headphones to maintain focus and confidentiality during our sessions.

  • Please make sure to save the Zoom links in your calendar for future appointments. If the links ever change, let me know and I can send you a new one.
