The Grow Wellness Group online therapy team brings licensed Illinois therapists to your screen, wherever you are in the state. Eight of our clinicians build their practice around teletherapy, meeting clients by secure video for the same evidence-based care we provide in person at our Naperville office. For each therapist below, online care is a specialty rather than a side offering. Browse their focus areas, from child and teen counseling to couples work and sport psychology, then reach out and our intake team will match you with the right fit. Every full bio is one click away.
Statewide reach shapes who joins this team. Because a video session works the same in a Chicago high-rise as it does in a Rockford living room or a Carbondale apartment, our virtual clinicians build caseloads that span the entire state. That range keeps their skills sharp across ages, backgrounds, and concerns, and it means availability is rarely limited by where you happen to live.
Once a therapist catches your eye, getting started takes one step. Call (331) 457-2020 or schedule an appointment online, and our intake team will confirm availability, verify your benefits, and set up your secure video link. First time in therapy? Our new client guide walks through what to expect before, during, and after that first session, so nothing about the process is a mystery.
Teletherapy also opens doors to the rest of the practice. A virtual client has the same access to our full range of counseling services as anyone who walks through the Naperville door, and when questions about attention, learning, or memory come up, our neuropsychological and psychological testing team is part of the same conversation. Clients looking for connection beyond individual sessions can also join our groups and workshops as schedules allow.
Key Takeaways: The Grow Wellness Group online therapy team includes eight licensed Illinois clinicians who see clients primarily or exclusively by secure video. Specialties span child, teen, adult, and couples counseling, plus sport psychology, career stress, and caregiver support. Every teletherapy clinician holds an active Illinois license and maintains a full bio on the Grow Wellness Group team page.
Matching with a therapist starts with knowing who is available and what each person does best. The profiles below introduce every clinician on our virtual care team. Some of these therapists practice exclusively through telehealth; others blend video sessions with time at our Naperville office. All of them meet clients through the same secure, HIPAA-compliant platform used across Grow Wellness Group, and all of them hold active Illinois licenses.

Key Takeaways: Teletherapy counselors at Grow Wellness Group treat anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, grief, relationship strain, and major life transitions by secure video. Child, teen, couples, family, and sport psychology sessions all run virtually for clients anywhere in Illinois.
The range of concerns treated by video mirrors what we treat in person. Anxiety and depression anchor most teletherapy caseloads, and both respond well to the format. Trauma recovery, grief, ADHD, self-esteem, anger management, and stress around work or caregiving all translate to secure video when clinically appropriate.
Relationships are part of virtual care too. Kate and Erin hold couples sessions by video, which suits partners with mismatched schedules, and our marriage counseling and family counseling services extend online. Parents seeking teen counseling or child counseling can match with Julie, Allie, Dana, or Jason depending on age and need, and athletes at any level can pair therapy with our sport psychology programs through Christina, Jason, or Kate.
When medication belongs in a treatment plan, our teletherapists coordinate with psychiatry and medication management so prescribing and therapy stay aligned. One honest limit applies: teletherapy is not designed for emergencies. In a crisis, call or text 988 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Key Takeaways: Choosing an online therapist in Illinois starts with confirming an active Illinois license, a HIPAA-compliant video platform, and continuity with one clinician. Grow Wellness Group verifies insurance benefits and matches each client with a therapist before the first session.
Licensing comes first. Any therapist treating you must hold an active Illinois license, and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation offers a free public license lookup that takes minutes. Every clinician on this page is listed there.
Platform security matters just as much. Sessions at Grow Wellness Group run on HIPAA-compliant video software rather than consumer apps, and we walk every new client through telehealth consent before the first appointment.
Then weigh continuity. Many national therapy apps rotate providers, which resets the therapeutic relationship each time. At Grow Wellness Group you keep one clinician, blend video with in-person visits when useful, and stay inside a connected team if psychiatry or testing enters the picture. Expect openness about cost as well: we verify benefits, explain copays and deductibles up front, and our payment and insurance page covers the details. And if the right fit is not on this page, our full team page introduces every Grow Wellness Group clinician, in person and virtual alike.
Grow Wellness Group began as a Naperville practice and now provides teletherapy to clients throughout Illinois, from Chicago and Aurora to Springfield and Carbondale. Long-term clients describe counseling here as life-altering, and many of the people behind those stories now attend entirely by video.
Building a dedicated virtual team was a deliberate choice. Telehealth-focused caseloads mean video care gets a clinician's full attention, from camera-friendly therapeutic techniques to the rhythms of remote check-ins. And because every therapist practices under one roof, a client who starts online can add in-person sessions at 200 East 5th Avenue in Naperville whenever it helps, without changing therapists or restarting care. Learn how sessions work, step by step, on our Online Therapy and Teletherapy Across Illinois page.
Call (331) 457-2020 or send us a message, and our intake team will match you with the right clinician, often within days.
