Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
My name is Michael Peterson, and I have been working in the field of Social Work for about 10 years. I I am licensed in Illinois and have done counseling for about three years. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. I have held a variety of different types of social work jobs (case worker, crisis clinician, therapist, and more), in a variety of different environments, which I feel gives me a deep, multifaceted approach to counseling. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Many people ask whether virtual therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
A key advantage of remote therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone calls, live chat, or in-app messaging – making it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule.
Licensed therapists provide care through these options, and if a different fit is desired it is possible to switch providers. Online therapy can be a practical and effective way to access support for everyday mental health and life challenges.
