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, 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.
