Hello. My name is Laura Sollenberger and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Illinois. I am also a Fellow in Thanatology (FT), which is a specialty counseling focused on dying and bereavement. I have clinical experience in private practice, not-for-profit, and hospital and hospice settings. While I have specialty credentials in the area of grief and loss, I have 30 years of experience helping clients with a variety of issues when life becomes challenging. I have had the honor of companioning clients through some of the hardest, most vulnerable times of their lives.
My approach
I draw from a variety of theoretical approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Most importantly, I promise to meet you where you are on your life journey.
My focus
I can help you with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting, adjustment to health and life circumstance changes, compassion fatigue, career motivation, grief and loss, and personal growth.
My communication style
You will find that I am easy to talk to, yet will hold you accountable for what you want to achieve through counseling. Your time is valuable and I can help you move from where you are to where you want to be. Together, we can partner to work towards your goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I enjoy helping clients live their best lives. Sometimes life gets challenging and we all could use a little help. I am here to listen, support, and guide clients in their growth. Being a therapist is tremendously rewarding!
My goals for you
I believe it’s important to begin therapy with the end in mind. Ultimately, you come to counseling for support and the opportunity to build new skills. We will work together to align your goals and our therapy sessions.
My first session with you
Our first session will provide me the opportunity to get to know you, what’s important to you, and the reasons you sought out counseling. We will decide together what makes the most sense moving forward towards your goals.
