Craig Mead, LCSW, LCPC – Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I am a private practice Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) serving clients in Chicago and Illinois through online video TeleHealth. As your therapist, I prioritize creating a therapeutic atmosphere that promotes growth and positive change for you. I look forward to working with you to address your challenges and realize your goals. Therapy is a process that can move you toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the life you want. I also provide non-therapeutic adult ADHD Life Coaching and education services to any adult worldwide.

Treatment Approach

For most people, video Telehealth is a surprisingly effective medium for counseling. As a therapist, I operate exactly the same regardless if it’s an online or an in-person session and the major convenience factor is hard to ignore.

I use a variety of approaches to address my client’s unique needs, including (mindfulness-based) Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),  Acceptance/Commitment Therapy (ACT), and integrative solution-focused therapies. More important than any theoretical approach is that you feel understood, and we maintain a solid therapeutic relationship with mutual understanding, respect, and honesty.

Additionally, a growing body of research supports the practice of self-compassion and mindfulness in psychotherapy. Neuroscience research reveals that individuals who practice these techniques are happier, more resilient, and better equipped to heal painful memories from the past. My mission is to help my clients overcome what’s blocking them from reaching their full potential individually and in their relationships.
