Erin OConnor

Hi, I'm Erin. If stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or a lack of motivation and confidence has you feeling stuck, I want you to know you're capable of finding your way through it. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with over 16 years of experience, working largely with young adults, including college students and athletes navigating that life stage's pressures. I believe you are the expert of your own story, and every person has strengths within that can help them overcome life's challenges. Taking the first step to start therapy takes courage, and I'm proud of you for getting here.

I'm conversational and use humor to help you feel comfortable, always looking for the strengths and potential in you. I draw on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to fit your needs and goals.

In our first session, expect a welcoming, supportive space as we get to know each other and start building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, personal history, strengths, and what you hope to gain. Book with me through my calendar to schedule a session.
