Therapist

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve them, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating women's issues, maternal mental health concerns, family stress, or the impact of difficult life experiences that continue to affect their well-being.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience in private practice, medical, and educational settings, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, family stress, grief, women's issues, or maternal mental health concerns, my goal is to help you better understand what's contributing to your struggles, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, resilience, healthier relationships, and long-term emotional wellness.

Alanda Smith

Alanda Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and a CADC. Therapy is my second career—I retired from nursing after 30 years, and my work in mental health is the continuation of what I’ve always valued: helping people move from illness to wellness, with care, structure, and real support.

I graduated from George Williams College and continued my education through Aurora University to strengthen my clinical foundation. I’m also a certified grief professional counselor, and I specialize in helping individuals and families navigate loss, transitions, and the emotions that come with grief.

I recently received approval for my doctorate in theology, and I will be graduating in May. My approach honors your story and supports healing in a way that aligns with your values—whether you’re looking for faith-informed guidance or focused mental health support.

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.
