My interpersonal style can be described as warm, inquisitive and humorous. What I value most about therapy is unconditional positive regard for you as a client and also unconditional positive regard for myself. I also value self-care for myself and the clients I work with. Taking care of yourself is an in-depth process so you can be the best person you can be. Being aware of yourself and who you are will lead to positive outcomes and thriving as a person instead of stagnating. A favorite quote of mine is from Socrates: "An unexamined life is not worth living." As a counselor I have worked with people of many and varied backgrounds for nineteen years. I welcome the opportunity to get to know you and to work with you toward positive change and growth. My Master's degree is in Clinical Social Work, Aurora University, Aurora, Illinois. Clinical Social Work is another way of saying I help people who may be struggling with social anxiety, anxiety, panic attacks, feelings of hopelessness, sadness/not liking yourself, relational issues, identity issues and more. I look forward to getting to know you!

I exercise good self-care by enjoying working out, hiking in State and local parks, meeting up with friends for coffee, reading the classics, tatting, and making music on my hammered dulcimer.

Ylonda Ware

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


My commitment to therapy isn't just professional — it's deeply personal. With fifteen years of hands-on experience, I've navigated my own life journey and know firsthand what it means to search for purpose, confront unresolved barriers, and actively fight for inner healing. That lived experience is the fuel behind everything I do.

I am lively, warm, and I truly never meet a stranger. I welcome everyone with open arms and bring an uplifting, hopeful energy to every session — while also being the kind of counselor who will sit with you safely in your pain with a deeply empathetic heart. I am fiercely loyal and dedicated to your long-term growth and victory.

I work with faith-based individuals and spiritual seekers, adults in transition, adolescents and young adults, couples, and those navigating trauma, addiction, and recovery.

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.
