Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


I personally know what it is like to struggle with anxiety and despair. I also know what it is like to go to therapy and to get little benefit from it. Many years ago, my emotional life changed dramatically when I stumbled onto resources that addressed my actual needs, and subsequently I devoted myself to a career promoting better mental health practices than I was taught when I was young.

Simply put, I teach people six interrelated psychological skills that you can use to transform your life. If all you want to do is explore the past, I'm not your best option - I focus on the past only enough to get us moving toward the future you want. I love to help people develop psychological superpowers that they can use to get the life they always hoped for, starting from where they are now and moving forward into a future they find worthwhile.

I’m A. Harvest, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Case Manager (CCM) with 21 years of experience in social work and behavioral health. My background spans outpatient mental health, integrated primary care, medical social work, rehabilitation, hospice, telehealth, group therapy, and leadership — much of it within the Veterans Health Administration, where I've had the privilege of serving veterans, military families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

As a wife, mother, caregiver, and healthcare professional myself, I understand what it feels like to carry multiple roles while trying to show up for everyone - including yourself. I bring both professional expertise and personal insight to my work, and I believe that combination matters. You'll find me warm, authentic, and genuinely invested in your well-being. I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard, respected, and never judged.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Alton, IL


Often, struggles can become gateways to transformation. Many of the clients I work with are navigating low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, trauma, grief, or major life transitions that leave them feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. You may be experiencing racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, relationship difficulties, loss, or uncertainty about your direction in life. When we begin to explore these experiences with compassion and curiosity, new perspectives and meaningful change can emerge.

I believe telling your story in a safe, supportive space can be deeply healing. I want to hear about your hopes, dreams, challenges, and losses. My goal is to help you better understand your experiences, develop emotional resilience, and move toward greater clarity and self-acceptance. You are not alone, and I am here to walk alongside you as you move forward on your journey toward healing and growth.

Ron Henson

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


A lot of people who reach out for therapy are used to holding things together on the outside while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or stuck underneath it all.

They overthink decisions, carry pressure constantly, struggle to slow their mind down, or notice they keep repeating patterns they already understand but still cannot seem to change.

I’m Ron Henson, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and owner of In Situ Counseling & Coaching. My practice helps adults navigate anxiety, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, relationship stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and high-functioning internal pressure through virtual therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and focused on helping things actually make sense in context.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Skokie

Searching for therapists in Skokie starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose training, listed specialties, and approach match what you want to focus on. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or work with specific life stages can help you understand whether their style fits your needs.

Skokie has local therapy options, and availability may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can also expand your options across Illinois, which may help if you want a specific therapy approach or need appointment times outside a fixed office schedule. Before booking, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers in-person or virtual sessions, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can also show how a therapist communicates, what session structure may look like, and what kinds of concerns they often support.

Therapy in Skokie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you compare therapists who are accepting new clients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
