Virtual Counseling That Fits Real Life in Chicago
Get matched with a therapist — online and on your schedule
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained? You’re not alone.
Life in Chicago can move fast. Between long workdays, caregiving responsibilities, packed schedules, and the pressure to always “keep it together,” many people find themselves feeling anxious, burned out, or disconnected from themselves and others.
If you’re searching for online therapy in Chicago, IL, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Our licensed therapists provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive care for clients across Chicago and all of Illinois.
At Mindful Healing Counseling, we offer virtual therapy for adults, teens, and couples, supporting people who are tired of carrying everything on their own — whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, identity concerns, or a major life transition.
And because therapy is online, you can get support without commuting, sitting in traffic, or rearranging your entire day.
Online Therapy for Busy Chicago Lives
Our practice is fully virtual, which means you can attend therapy from home, your office, or anywhere you feel comfortable. We work with clients throughout Chicago, including Downtown, the West Loop, South Loop, Hyde Park, Beverly, Oak Park, Evanston, and surrounding neighborhoods.
Whether you’re commuting on the L, navigating traffic on I-90 or Lake Shore Drive, or juggling long workdays, parenting, school, or caregiving, online therapy makes care more accessible without adding another commute to your day.
Whether you live near the lakefront, close to Downtown, or anywhere in the city, our therapists are here to support you with care that fits real life in Chicago.
We want to support you.
