Hi, I’m Angelo Georgacopoulos, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 14 years of experience. I have a deep-seated passion for guiding individuals to unearth their strengths and navigate through life’s challenges. Specializing in managing stress and anxiety, addressing family conflicts, enhancing relationship dynamics, boosting self-esteem, and navigating career transitions, I also offer comprehensive couples therapy. Licensed in Illinois, I embrace working with clients from diverse backgrounds, firmly believing in the inherent resilience and courage that each person possesses. Taking the first steps towards a happier, more fulfilling life is a commendable act of bravery, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Together, we will cultivate a trusting and warm environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. My aim is to empower you, helping you feel confident and secure in your decisions as you unlock the potential that lies within. Let’s collaborate to craft the life you envision for yourself. Reach out today, and let’s start your journey toward healing, growth, and enduring change.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other in a relaxed and comfortable setting. I’ll share a bit about myself—my background, the way I approach therapy, and the values that shape my work. But most importantly, this is your time to share what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any questions or concerns you may have. Together, we’ll begin building a connection based on trust and respect, setting the stage for a positive and collaborative journey ahead.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel comfortable opening up and being themselves. With expertise in areas such as stress management, anxiety, relationships, parenting, career guidance, and self-esteem, I combine empathy, active listening, and clear communication to guide clients toward meaningful growth. My approach is flexible and culturally sensitive, allowing me to tailor our work to your unique needs. I’m deeply committed to empowering clients and continuously learning to provide the best care possible for each individual I work with.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I focus on making Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approachable and effective for my clients. I believe that therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and understood, so I bring a down-to-earth and warm approach to every session. My goal is to help you feel at ease, creating an environment where you can talk openly and trust that I genuinely care about your progress. CBT is a powerful tool for addressing negative thought patterns and behaviors, and I take pride in making it accessible and easy to understand. Together, we’ll work through practical steps to identify the thoughts and beliefs that may be holding you back. My style is energetic and personable, but also humble—I’m here to guide you without judgment, ensuring you feel empowered to make the changes you want in your life. By focusing on collaboration, we can break down overwhelming challenges into manageable steps. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, or self-esteem issues, I’m here to listen, support, and help you gain a sense of control and confidence in your journey.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I utilize the Person-Centered (Rogerian) approach to therapy, which emphasizes creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I believe that therapy works best when you feel genuinely heard and understood, and I strive to create a connection that feels comfortable, down-to-earth, and warm. My role is to offer empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a genuine presence. I meet you where you are without pushing or directing the conversation. Together, we explore your feelings at your own pace, allowing you to uncover your own solutions and pathways to growth. I bring energy and humility to each session, letting you take the lead while I actively listen and provide gentle guidance. Trust is at the core of the Person-Centered approach, and I’m here to help you feel confident in exploring your own experiences, knowing you have someone you can open up to. This approach empowers you to reconnect with your inner strength, make decisions that feel authentic, and develop a stronger sense of self, all while feeling supported and safe.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help clients make meaningful progress in a short amount of time. I believe that therapy doesn’t always need to take a long time to make an impact, and with SFBT, we focus on practical solutions and your strengths. My approach is warm, energetic, and down-to-earth, so you’ll feel comfortable, supported, and free to open up. SFBT is all about identifying what’s working in your life and building on that. I approach each session with humility, actively listening to your needs, and working with you to set clear, achievable goals. Together, we focus on solutions rather than problems, which helps create a positive and forward-moving atmosphere in our conversations. This method allows you to take charge of your progress and discover that the tools for change are often already within you. By keeping the sessions focused on what’s possible and what you want to achieve, I help you find quick wins that boost your confidence and keep you motivated. You can trust that I’ll guide you through this process with genuine care, providing a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make the changes you need in your life.
