About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Illinois with over 15 years of experience working as an advocate and therapist. I have worked in a range of areas including foster care, domestic violence & sexual assault, corrections (with both juveniles and adults), parent coaching, and community mental health. I have provided therapy to adolescents and adults for Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, and Bipolar Disorder. I have also provided coaching to parents who have children with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Behavior Concerns.
My counseling style is open, accepting, and solution focused. I use a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe in meeting individuals where they are and taking a holistic approach to address your unique needs. I am a therapist who is caring, non-judgmental, honest, and direct.
If you are ready to better understand your behaviors (or the behaviors of your child) and build skills to improve your well-being and happiness, I am here to support you. I am open to engaging with you in whatever manner you feel comfortable (e.g. phone, video, and/or messaging). I am typically available mornings, evenings, and weekends.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Anna Czerniak. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Anna helped me through a difficult transition in my life. Her caring counseling provided both a sounding board and a motivator during a lonely time.
Anna listens and asks questions about what’s current in my life, she helps me work though situation I need help navigating and give me resources to move forward.
Anna is smart, open minded and heartfelt. She also has insight that is so genuine and virtuous. She’s truly a gift to this world.
Anna gives me hope. She provides me with solutions to my problems. I feel supported and not alone. Parenting is tough and I feel confidence Anna will be able to help guide me through it.
