Chiralaine Natschke, LCPC

Chiralaine Natschke is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and family strain, anger, mood disorders, and life transitions. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps to move forward.

Before private practice, she worked in several roles including mental health therapist, child welfare supervisor, school counselor, and crisis screener/therapist. That range shaped a pragmatic style that values safety, structure, and steady progress. She uses a collaborative approach and plans treatment around measurable goals agreed with each person.

Her clinical toolbox includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods are used to support skills building, emotion regulation, and clearer thinking about relationships and choices.

Chiralaine emphasizes goal-directed treatment. After an initial assessment she and the client set specific goals and track progress in a time-efficient way. She encourages active participation and regular check-ins to adjust plans as needed.

People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical skill practice often find this approach helpful. She communicates plainly, outlines homework when helpful, and discusses frequency of meetings so sessions fit into a client’s life.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
