About Herbert
Herbert Stricklin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 35 years of experience. He works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addiction, trauma, anger, and mood issues. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than jargon.
He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed strong emotions. He also uses the Gottman Method for relationship work and Narrative Therapy to reframe personal stories that get stuck. These methods are used to address things like control issues, jealousy, fatherhood concerns, and the strain around separation or divorce.
In sessions he favors direct conversation and structured tools. Clients can expect to look at thoughts, behaviors, and interactions and practice small changes between meetings. He helps people break down stressful situations into manageable parts and test new ways of responding.
His background includes decades of clinical practice in Illinois, working across a wide range of life transitions and mood concerns. The LCPC credential indicates licensure in Illinois and experience with clinical counseling practice.
He offers work that is collaborative and practical. People who are tired of snapping at loved ones, carrying resentment, or getting stuck in cycles of frustration may find this approach useful. If you want clear methods and steady guidance, the sessions focus on what you can try next.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
He commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anger and anxiety active, then practice alternative responses. The Gottman Method is applied when relationship dynamics matter, offering concrete skills for communication and managing conflict. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from a limiting story and try different ways of making sense of events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review your goals, symptoms, and preferences together and recommend which methods to start with. That decision is collaborative and may shift as you try techniques and see what helps.
