About Dr. Carol L. Tessler
Illinois Licensed Psychologist
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Illinois with over forty years of experience helping individuals navigate emotional and interpersonal challenges. My career in counseling began in 1976, and I have been a licensed clinical psychologist since 1991.
Throughout my career, I have worked in hospitals, clinics, and partial hospitalization programs, conducting psychological evaluations including formal testing for both children and adults. While I currently provide individual telehealth therapy and do not offer couples or family counseling online, I remain deeply attuned to the role of family dynamics in healing. My background in medical settings has also given me a strong understanding of how physical health, limitations, and medical conditions intersect with emotional well-being.
Personalized Therapy Services
I offer personalized, evidence-based therapy services tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, healing from past trauma, or seeking greater fulfillment in life, my goal is to provide a safe space where meaningful change can take root. All sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for clients throughout Illinois.
Individual Psychotherapy
I work with adults of all ages, beginning with your goals and moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My approach integrates cognitive and emotion-focused therapy techniques to help you shift old patterns, release emotional pain, and cultivate greater self-acceptance. As healing unfolds, many clients find that their relationships and overall sense of peace improve naturally.
Trauma and PTSD Therapy
Healing from trauma is a deeply personal journey. Using gentle, research-supported methods, I help clients process painful experiences that may continue to surface across different stages of life. Together, we work to release feelings of panic, despair, and distress rooted in past trauma restoring a sense of safety and calm.
Anxiety, Stress, and Emotional Wellness
Anxiety and chronic stress can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Through practical strategies and insight-oriented work, I help clients build resilience, regain balance, and move toward a life marked by greater peace, purpose, and fulfillment.
