Beth Ross

Beth Ross

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.

I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.

I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.

I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Aurora, IL

Finding family therapists in Aurora starts with understanding what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare Aurora therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, parent-child work, or support for couples and families.

In Aurora, your search may include therapists with offices near home, school, or work, along with virtual options that make it easier to involve more family members. Session attendance can vary based on your goals — a therapist may meet with the full family, a parent and child, partners, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, scheduling flexibility, and communication style. A free phone consultation can also help you ask how they approach family counseling services in Aurora, IL.

Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated costs before you book. You can search for therapists in Aurora, IL who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
