Catherine Seger, LCPC

Catherine Seger is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life changes. Catherine emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to reduce overwhelm and handle difficult moments more calmly.

She approaches sessions believing the client knows their own story and brings strengths to therapy. That means conversations focus on what the person already does well and how to build on those abilities. Catherine uses a mix of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral tools to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

In sessions she talks through real situations clients face, like snapping at a partner, mounting resentment at work, or trouble managing cravings. She helps set small, achievable goals and practices skills between sessions so change feels manageable. Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, career stress, and issues that come with chronic illness or caregiving.

Catherine supports people coping with divorce or separation, guilt and shame, social anxiety, eating concerns, and women’s issues. She encourages straightforward problem solving, learning new coping skills, and tracking progress over time. Her practical focus is on day-to-day improvements rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her Illinois practice. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment to get started.
