Connection-Focused Online Counseling in Chicago, Illinois

Thank you for visiting Social Connection Counseling, a place where you can work toward greater clarity, confidence, and genuine connection. Located at 661 W Lake St, Suite 2S in Chicago’s West Loop, we offer secure virtual sessions for adults anywhere in Illinois. Our goal is to make getting support simple and accessible from the comfort of home.

We believe connection is central to well-being. The way you connect with yourself, the people in your life, and your community shapes how you heal, grow, and thrive. When those connections feel distant or strained, it can impact every area of your life.

You may feel anxious in social situations, caught up in your own thoughts, or simply lonely—like you don’t quite fit in. You might not be sure where to begin or how to create lasting change. That is where we come in.

Connection is the key to a purposeful, meaningful, and healthy life.

We bring both professional expertise and personal insight to every session, using evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, Exposure , and Solutions-Focused Therapy. Counseling here is active and collaborative, giving you tools you can use in everyday life.

You do not have to figure it out alone. We are here to offer guidance, practical tools, and a space where you feel heard and understood. Start with a free 20-minute consultation to see how we can work together toward the life and relationships you want.

Connection is at the heart of everything we do. Support here is human, practical, and grounded in care. We meet you exactly where you are, even if where you are right now feels uncertain or difficult to put into words. You do not have to navigate this alone.

We work with adults facing challenges such as social anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, loneliness, men’s issues, stress, perfectionism, and relationship concerns. Whether your focus is building confidence, improving communication, or learning to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, we offer personalized support that respects your experiences and goals.

Feeling connected to yourself and others can change how you experience every part of life. Whether you want to feel more confident in social situations, gain clarity in your thoughts, or strengthen your relationships, counseling can help you create lasting change.

Welcome to Social Connection Counseling

You know what makes humans different than any other living being? Our ability to deeply connect and communicate with each other. However, there are so many aspects of being a human that get in the way of connecting. Sometimes we’re afraid we’re going to be judged by others, or that our brain is too “weird,” or maybe we express ourself in such a way that is misunderstood by others. Whatever the issue is, here at Social Connection Counseling, we help you address these issues head on, so that you can make real, tangible changes in your life.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

I’m an “active” therapist, which means I do more than just listen and nod. I believe therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation, not a lecture or a one-sided session. While I have a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, you are the expert on your life. My role is to partner with you, offering insights, strategies, and practical tools tailored to your unique needs.
