Hi. My name is Angelo Georgacopoulos. I am licensed in Illinois as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 12 years experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, family conflicts, self-esteem, relationships, couples therapy, confidence and career difficulties. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to help navigate & empower you in that journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I will introduce myself, providing some background about my professional experience, therapeutic approach, and the principles that guide my practice. Equally important is getting to know you – your reasons for seeking therapy, your goals, and any concerns or questions you might have about the process. Building rapport is crucial, and I strive to establish a foundation of trust and mutual respect from the outset.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, dialectical behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy. I will also accommodate your specific needs, “meeting you where you are at” while encouraging you to be “the best you”.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My areas of expertise are stress management, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting issues, career guidance, and self-esteem. My greatest strengths as a therapist include my empathy and compassion, active listening, strong communication skills, evidence-based approach, flexibility, cultural competence, patience, ability to create a safe and non-judgmental space, focus on empowering clients, commitment to continuous learning, and the ability to build strong therapeutic relationships. These strengths enable me to provide high-quality, personalized care that supports clients in achieving their goals and improving their overall well-being.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I strive to empower individuals aged 18 to 65 to lead more fulfilling and balanced lives. Whether you are at the beginning of your adult journey, navigating the complexities of midlife, or anywhere in between, I am here to support you every step of the way.
