Introduction

I'm a clinical social worker (LCSW) and founder of Sanders Counseling, PLLC, providing 100% telehealth therapy across Central Illinois and beyond. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress through evidence-based, client-centered care grounded in mindfulness and practical grounding techniques. My approach equips you with actionable tools to regulate your nervous system and build lasting emotional resilience. I work with individuals, couples, and families—from teenagers through adults—and I believe therapy is both a resource during crisis and a proactive space for ongoing healing and personal growth. Running a completely virtual practice means high-quality mental health support is accessible from your home, removing barriers that often prevent rural communities from getting care. I'm currently accepting new clients and would be honored to provide a secure, grounded environment where you can safely unpack what you're carrying and regain your balance.
