Therapist

I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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 Therapist in Chicago

Finding the right family therapist in Chicago starts with identifying what your family is working through. Family therapy can address a range of concerns — from communication breakdowns and parenting disagreements to adjusting after a divorce, blending households, or supporting a family member living with anxiety or depression. A licensed provider such as an LMFT, LCPC, or psychologist with training in family systems can help your family build stronger patterns together.

Chicago is home to thousands of mental health providers, which can make the search feel overwhelming. Consider what matters most — whether that's a provider who works with blended families, offers evening availability, or has experience with adolescents. Reading a provider's bio before booking can give you a sense of their style and whether they might be a good match for your family.

Family therapy in Chicago can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a family therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
