About Chiralaine
Chiralaine Natschke is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She focuses on clear, goal-directed work and prefers a collaborative approach. Chiralaine aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people facing difficult moments.
She draws on several approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma. Sessions often include skills practice and concrete strategies for coping with panic, obsessive thoughts, and sleep problems.
How Chiralaine works
She also addresses relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and the challenges of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Chiralaine’s background includes roles as a mental health therapist, school counselor, crisis screener and therapist, and child welfare supervisor. That mix shaped a direct, organized style focused on measurable progress.
She typically begins with a short assessment to set one or more clear goals and then plans sessions to move toward those goals. Her toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She uses mindfulness and stress management techniques when they fit a person’s needs.
Sessions are available to people in Illinois and to international clients in English. Chiralaine supports work on career questions, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, ADHD-related concerns, and impulse control. She encourages active engagement and regular check-ins to track progress.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking action that matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it works well for panic, obsessions, and mood issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication skills for people who struggle with intense emotions and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are good when visual cues help the work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings.
