About Vadim

Vadim Sitnyakovskiy is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of clinical work. He focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and anger among other concerns. Vadim conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients.

He uses client-centered communication to make conversations straightforward. That means sessions start with what matters most to the person in front of him. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors in daily life. Attachment-based ideas guide how he looks at relationship patterns and past family dynamics.

Vadim often helps people looking to rebuild motivation, confidence, or direction. He works with issues like grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related struggles, sleep and eating problems, and career shifts. He also addresses attention and burnout concerns such as ADHD and compassion fatigue in a practical way.

In sessions the focus is on clear goals and small, workable steps. Expect direct talk about patterns, practice between meetings, and regular check-ins about progress. The overall tone is practical rather than clinical - he aims to help people reduce reactive anger, improve communication, and regain a sense of control.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. For current session formats, confirm the options before booking.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Vadim blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in practical ways. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and shaping sessions around what the client says matters most. That approach helps people voice their frustrations, including anger, and set the agenda for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thoughts and behaviors and uses small experiments to test new responses, which is useful for managing reactivity and work-related stress.

He also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationship patterns affect current reactions. That can help someone see why old wounds make them snap or feel disconnected. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is collaborative: the therapist and client weigh goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions, then adjust the plan together.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue regular sessions when managing relocations or work commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, and motivational interviewing to remote settings to keep progress moving.
