I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience, working with adults and couples in individual therapy. I draw from Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief and loss, self injury, spirituality, substance use, and trauma or PTSD.
I work with Adolescents and Adults who are struggling with stress and anxiety, the effects of trauma, attachment issues, and Parenting concerns. I have an Individualized approach that allows me to join with Clients on their journey toward growth and healing.
I'm Christine Manuel, LCSW, a Client centered and goal oriented Therapist. I earned my Masters Degree from the University of Chicago, and I have been in this field for over 18 years.
I love working with teens, parents and adults who are looking to improve their resiliency, communication and coping skills. There are many challenges and demands that families must face, and I can build strong supportive relationships to help others navigate the obstacles and transitions that life brings. I strive to help clients feel understood and safe so they can work towards examining their feelings and needs while looking to gain calmness, confidence and clarity.
I believe that therapy works best when people feel understood, respected and safe. I have over 20 year of experience helping adults navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, identity exploration, grief/loss, life transitions and relationship challenges. Much of my career has been devoted to working with veterans and individuals who have faced difficult or traumatic experiences. I strongly believe in establishing a relationship of equals and mutual respect between therapist and client; one that leads to a guided journey of self-discovery and change.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Homewood, IL starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions — or a more general space to talk through what's on your mind. From there, look for a licensed provider whose specialty and approach match your needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good fit.
Homewood and the surrounding south suburbs are home to a range of mental health providers, including licensed clinical social workers, professional counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Some offer in-person sessions at offices in the area, while others are available virtually. If scheduling flexibility matters to you, virtual sessions can make it easier to find an appointment that fits your calendar.
