Carrie Ryberg, LCPC — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Carrie!

Clients come to counseling looking for help with the things that are happening in their lives. I work to help them find Hope, Healing, Empowerment, and Enrichment in their lives.

My focus

Typically, I work with clients who have anxiety, depression, or previous trauma.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is to listen and understand your needs. Then, I will work with you using an approach that would best help you with your needs. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Techniques, and Solution Focus.

My communication style

My goal is to provide a safe/secure environment to provide support in a non-judgmental way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always recognized that counseling and human behavior were intriguing to me. It is a pleasure to be part of seeing others heal. In school and working in finance as a young adult, I found myself counseling others through their struggles. I went back to school to become a counselor since this was my calling.

My goals for you

Typically, goal setting is done by clients providing me with what is happening in their life and what areas they feel need the most support. From there, we will discuss treatment to help them achieve their goals.

Our first session

In the first session, we will take 5-10 minutes to discuss the counseling process, confidentiality, and what to expect from counseling. The rest of the session will be focused on what is bringing you to counseling. It may take a session or two to get to know each other.
