Julia Skowron

I'm Julia M. Skowron, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and Massachusetts. I have over 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. I’m passionate about helping clients feel understood while also learning practical skills they can use in everyday life. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can show up as you are and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on real-life change. I use tools from CBT, DBT, trauma-focused therapy, and art therapy, depending on what fits your needs. I work with you to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and better understand what you’re going through. Sessions are a balance of support, conversation, and practical tools you can actually use outside of therapy.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you in. We’ll go over what you’ve been experiencing and what you’d like to work on, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to make the space feel relaxed, supportive, and judgment-free. By the end, you’ll have a sense of what working together will look like and some initial direction for next steps.
