Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I am Amy Wilder, a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Illinois and have over 20 years experience. I have a private practice in the northwest suburbs of Illinois. I offer self-improvement in a safe and caring manor in order to work toward managing life situations and achieving goals. I believe that therapy is a process of learning about ones behaviors and developing new ways to move beyond places that hold us back from achieving our maximum potential in life. I work with children, adolescents and adults in a variety of settings including individual, family and marital therapies. Please feel free to reach out and message me in order to see if you think we would be a good fit. Also if there is a time that you are looking for and it doesn't match my availability, message me anyways because chances are I can meet what it is you are looking for.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
