About Paula
Paula Voigt is a licensed counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Illinois. She holds credentials as an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and an Indiana Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Paula focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and career challenges.
Paula has particular experience supporting people after infertility, miscarriage, and reproductive loss. She helps both men and women process the strong emotions that can follow those experiences.
Background and approach
That work often includes grief work, managing anxiety or post-traumatic stress symptoms, and finding ways to adjust expectations and routines. Her approach is grounded in respectful, compassionate conversation. She listens for what matters most to each person and shapes the sessions around practical coping tools.
Clients can expect straightforward talk, strategies to manage symptoms, and attention to how life circumstances affect emotional health. Paula also works with people dealing with general grief and loss, PTSD, and struggles at work or in career transition. She aims to help clients identify small, doable steps toward better day-to-day functioning and clearer decisions about next steps.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and goals. Paula emphasizes sensitivity and avoids one-size-fits-all solutions. She supports clients who are ready to begin change and offers steady guidance through the process.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Paula works with several evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people manage anxiety and stress by teaching breathing, grounding, and activity-planning tools to reduce day-to-day symptoms and increase a sense of control. Another strand of work centers on grief and reproductive loss, using trauma-informed grief processing to help people name difficult feelings, build coping skills, and gradually re-establish routines and meaning after loss.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Paula will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans as progress is made. The therapist and client work together to pick strategies that feel manageable and relevant to the person’s life.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when it helps, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexible ways to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, appointments, and family life.
