Hello, and thank you for taking a look at my profile! My name is Chris Ewald, and I have been working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Illinois since 2012. During that time I've worked as an inpatient therapist at a hospital, outpatient at several clinics and agencies, provided in-home therapy, and now online through Betterhelp. I've worked quite a bit with families (including children and parents of adoptive families!), helped many clients deal with childhood traumas, and have worked with couples on improving their communication and relationships.
I believe in treating you as a whole person and will work with you to explore your past experiences, your current problems and strengths, and to target how you would like to grow in the future. Whether you have experienced trauma, or are struggling with depression, anxiety, or relational issues, my goal is to help you overcome these obstacles and live the life that you want. I believe we often need to treat ourselves better than we do, and help clients do that through looking at their actions, words, and thoughts. I use a Humanistic/Person-Centered approach to treatment, but can use, when appropriate, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, and I have completed Level 1 training in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
