Mike Driscoll is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 11 years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, anger management, and depression, offering practical support for those navigating difficult life changes and emotional challenges.

He emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify and build on those strengths while developing new skills for coping and growth. Taking the first step toward greater fulfillment takes courage, and he offers steady, empathetic support to clients as they pursue a happier, more meaningful life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mike often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

He also draws on Existential Therapy to explore questions of meaning, values, and life purpose. This approach supports clients facing major life transitions, grief, or questions about what matters most, helping them clarify priorities and make intentional choices.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mike collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, plus live chat or text-based messaging, allow clients to access care from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
