Vasiliki StratikopoulouLCSW

Vasiliki Stratikopoulou is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing strong emotions and life changes. She supports those dealing with depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family tensions, and struggles like addiction or anger. She speaks English and Greek and practices from Illinois.

She focuses on clear, practical work in the room. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and build coping skills. Vasiliki draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor a plan that fits each person's needs.

Clients often come with big transitions on their plate - midlife shifts, workplace change, or the strain of caregiving and chronic illness. She helps people process loss, manage panic or mood difficulties, and make sense of communication breakdowns or separation.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Conversations center on what is happening now and what concrete steps can help. She emphasizes strategies people can use between sessions to feel more steady and in control.

Vasiliki brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice and holds the credential LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She works collaboratively with each person to set goals and track progress over time.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work

Vasiliki uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with clearer, calmer ways of thinking to reduce symptoms like panic and depression. Another approach emphasizes skill-building for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship strain, anger, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist review what helps and what needs to change during regular sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets hectic. They also let people continue work during relocations or when coordinating care across regions. Confirm the exact session formats offered and schedule details when you start the matching process.
