Sarah Brooks

Sarah Brooks

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hello prospective clients! My name is Sarah and I am a counselor with a collaborative, solution focused, and person-centered approach. I believe the best counseling happens when a client is actively involved in their treatment. I will work with you to establish what you would like to get out of treatment so that you may have the best experience possible. In my experience, counseling has the best results when we work as a team. My experience primarily lies in working with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, coping skills, anger management, self-care, self-esteem, relationship issues, and parenting. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I have conducted individual counseling group counseling, and family counseling. I am very passionate about what I do and would love to help you on your journey to become the best version of yourself!

Annmarie OConnell

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I’m Annmarie O’Connell, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals through some of life’s toughest moments. My background is rooted in community mental health, where I’ve worked with people from all walks of life dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions.

I’m also trained in Brainspotting, a powerful therapeutic technique that taps into the brain-body connection to help clients process and release deeply held emotional pain. This approach, along with my real-world experience, allows me to support clients in a holistic, meaningful way. My work is deeply personal to me—because I’ve experienced firsthand how life-changing therapy can be.

Bianca Gist

Bianca Gist

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I did not stumble into this work — I chose it, and I choose it every day. I am Bianca Gist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Illinois and Indiana.

I am also a former collegiate athlete, and that background shapes how I show up — I know what it feels like to carry a lot and still need someone genuinely in your corner. My experience is rooted in the spaces where people need the most and are often given the least — Chicago Public Schools, foster care, home-based services, and community mental health. Through my private practice, Her Sole Purpose LLC, I work with children, adolescents, student-athletes, and families using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care. I use what works for the person in front of me, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I work well with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the weight of environments that were not built for them. Therapy with me is honest, grounded, and focused on what actually helps you move forward — not just cope.

If any of this resonates, I would love to connect.
