Vasiliki Stratikopoulou, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on compassionate, holistic care that addresses a wide range of life challenges. I have extensive experience helping clients work through depression, relationship dynamics, family conflicts, trauma, and grief.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding and resilience. I'm particularly passionate about supporting clients through transitions like workplace challenges, midlife shifts, and personal transformations. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, processing difficult life experiences, or seeking to enhance personal growth, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space.
I believe in tailoring treatment to each person's unique journey, drawing from evidence-based approaches to help you build meaningful connections, overcome emotional barriers, and rediscover your inner strength. My goal is to walk alongside you as you develop healthier coping strategies and move toward greater emotional well-being.

Vasiliki has turned my life completely. I’m so much happier after therapy with her, and I was able to gain relieve from my childhood trauma like I never thought I could. She was always there, supportive and encouraging, and I wasn’t always the easiest client. Thank you Vasiliki!

Vasiliki is very pleasant. I feel like she can relate to my concerns I am having.

Any time she relates to a topic, she tells me her experience and allows me to compare it to mine; giving me different perspective on a similar issue! I value and respect her advice!

I always do feel better after our sessions. She listens to me completely, even if I keep going on and on, she’ll wait and bring me back to a point that she caught that I might’ve never asked or took the time to analyze the small parts. Things are hard at this point of my life but I definitely feel a little bit more at ease after our sessions. It’s a progress but I do look forward to our sessions.
