Lizette Solis

Therapist

Virtual • Chicago, IL


Hi! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago, Illinois, specializing in helping high-achieving professionals and women navigate anxiety, burnout, trauma, and major life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burned out despite your success, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

With a Doctorate in Organizational Psychology, I bring a unique lens to therapy that integrates both personal and professional well-being. With leadership experience across corporate and nonprofit settings, I understand the pressures of high-demand environments and the impact they can have on mental health. I support clients facing career stress, leadership demands, and complex life transitions, including fertility journeys, pregnancy, and early parenting.

My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work with individuals who are used to “holding it all together” but are ready for a space where they can slow down, process deeply, and reconnect with themselves in a meaningful way.

I support adults facing anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, grief, or life transitions. I offer a calm, thoughtful space to talk through what you’re experiencing and begin making meaningful changes.

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist and Jungian analyst with extensive experience helping adults navigate emotional challenges, long‐standing patterns, and questions of identity and purpose. My work blends depth psychology with practical tools so you can understand yourself more fully and move toward a more grounded, authentic life.

Clients often come to me when they’re carrying a lot — stress, loss, uncertainty, or a sense that something needs to shift. I provide a steady, reflective environment where you can explore what’s happening beneath the surface and develop clarity about your next steps.

Happy patient looking away

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 a Therapist in Illinois

Finding the right therapist in Illinois starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your specific concerns can make a meaningful difference. Illinois therapists on Headway hold credentials such as LCSW, LCPC, LMFT, and PsyD, and many are trained in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.

With providers available across the state — in the Chicago metro, suburbs, downstate communities, and through virtual sessions — you can prioritize what matters most to you, whether that's a provider near your neighborhood, a specific therapy style, or evening and weekend availability. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Illinois can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can move from searching to booking in minutes.
