About Chiralaine
Chiralaine Natschke is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, and attention-deficit concerns. Sessions focus on goal-directed work and practical steps toward change.
She has held roles including mental health therapist, child welfare supervisor, school counselor, and crisis screener/therapist. That background informs a practical approach to common life problems and clinical issues. Chiralaine uses a set of established practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try new ways of responding.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods are used to address things like panic, obsessive thoughts, mood instability, trauma, and problems with communication and boundaries.
Chiralaine emphasizes setting clear, measurable goals after an initial assessment. Treatment is organized around those goals, with progress reviewed as sessions continue. She expects clients to participate actively and says that committed effort usually produces the most progress.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location, and sessions operate through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Chiralaine frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try small experiments to change them. CBT focuses on concrete steps - tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and changing behaviors - which translates easily to online sessions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that align with those values. ACT helps when avoidance or worry is getting in the way of everyday goals. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and to practice new ways of relating to others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The relationship and clear goals guide the selection of techniques.
