Inga Kriltchev, LCPC

Inga Kriltchev is licensed in Illinois as an LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) and brings 10 years of professional experience supporting people across the life span. She has worked with youth and families involved in the foster care system and with older adults and individuals with disabilities, experiences that inform her work with relationship challenges, family conflict, and trauma and abuse.

Her practice emphasizes helping clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence while moving toward clearly identified goals. Inga frames her work with a life-coaching spirit, drawing from an eclectic set of evidence-based techniques selected to fit each person and situation. She centers the client as the expert of their own story and looks for existing strengths to support change.

Inga focuses on relationship and family concerns, coping with life changes, and healing from trauma, and she addresses related areas such as communication problems, forgiveness, loneliness, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and workplace challenges. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and affirms the courage it takes to begin the process.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Inga draws on trauma-informed strategies to help people recover from past hurts and build safety and coping skills - an approach useful for those who have experienced abuse or significant loss. She also uses family-focused methods that explore patterns of communication and interaction within relationships, helping families and partners resolve conflict and improve connection. Additionally, her goal-focused, coaching-oriented work blends practical skill-building with collaborative planning to support self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Inga collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, then tailors techniques and pacing so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and for matching the mode of communication to what feels most comfortable. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or on the go and to maintain continuity of care during life changes.
