About Nashonna

Nashonna Turner is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family-related stress, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, and anger. Her practice includes concerns such as communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.

Nashonna uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and then helps them try practical steps they can use between meetings. Conversations cover how feelings show up, what triggers them, and small changes that ease daily life.

In sessions she mixes cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and attachment-informed perspectives. That means she helps people notice thinking patterns, reflect on relationship habits, and feel heard while they sort things out. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) tools also appear in her work to help people live more consistently with their values.

She focuses on concrete skills such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, and rebuilding self-respect. Clients practice new responses, review what worked, and adjust strategies over time. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Nashonna works from Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. In practical terms ACT can help someone who gets stuck in anger notice what matters under the heat of the moment and choose actions that match their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses experiments and skills practice to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for managing automatic reactions, testing assumptions, and practicing alternative responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and shifting tactics if something does not fit.

The practical benefit of online sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or make it easier to keep regular appointments. Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Licensed professionals often use a mix of methods when working remotely, and she will focus on approaches that fit the client’s schedule and goals.
