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.

My name is Lauren Dircks, and I have been supporting people for 3 years through a variety of challenges. I have a masters degree in Social Work and am a fully licensed social worker. I help those working through anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship challenges, postpartum depression, life adjustments, and much more. I specialize in working with those 13 years and older.
Making the decision to begin therapy is a meaningful step, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly heard. With over 18 years of experience as a school social worker, I have had the privilege of helping children, adolescents, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical support. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, family conflict, grief, trauma, life transitions, school-related stress, low self-esteem, and difficulty managing emotions. I believe every person’s story is unique, and therapy should be tailored to your individual needs, strengths, and goals. My hope is to walk alongside you as you move toward growth, healing, and a more fulfilling life!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Peoria, IL
Searching for therapists in Peoria starts with finding care that matches your needs. A therapist may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and therapy style fit what you want to address. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Peoria, the right local match may depend on more than office location. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Illinois while still letting you choose in-person therapy when that fits your schedule. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their session style is described. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Peoria can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. You can browse therapists in Peoria, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
