Hello,

I'm Nick, and I'm delighted to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm committed to helping you find a path to better emotional well-being and personal growth.

Life can throw its curveballs, and it's natural to feel a bit lost at times. As a licensed therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the potential for positive change that exists within all of us.

I don't have a physical office space at this time. I can see clients virtually, or I can come to your home or office.

Please reach out to me at (319) 481-8505 or [email protected] for any questions!

Ron Henson

Ron Henson

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


A lot of people who reach out for therapy are used to holding things together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck underneath it all.

They overthink decisions, carry pressure constantly, struggle to slow their mind down, or notice they keep repeating patterns they already understand but still cannot seem to change.

I’m Ron Henson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and owner of In Situ Counseling & Coaching. My practice helps adults navigate anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and high-functioning internal pressure through virtual therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping things actually make sense in context.

Christa Hill

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I earned my Bachelor's degree in Social Work and later my Master's in Social Work, becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have extensive experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and major life transitions. While I welcome adults from all backgrounds, I have a special passion and expertise in working with Women of Color. I understand the unique pressures many women carry—the expectation to always be strong, care for everyone else, and keep pushing even when they're emotionally exhausted. My goal is to provide a culturally responsive, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Whether you're navigating grief, divorce, burnout, empty nesting, or rediscovering yourself, I'll meet you with compassion, honesty, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Dr. Linda Wickens

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.

Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.

I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.

Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Skokie

Searching for therapists in Skokie starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach match what you want to focus on. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or work with specific life stages can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.

Skokie has local therapy options, and availability may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can also expand your options across Illinois, which may help if you want a specific therapy approach or need appointment times outside a fixed office schedule. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers in-person or virtual sessions, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates, what session structure may look like, and what kinds of concerns they often support.

Therapy in Skokie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
