Lisa Lucchese, LCPC

Lisa Lucchese is an Illinois-licensed LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) with 21 years of professional experience supporting people through grief, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, compassion fatigue, and major life transitions. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and plans to meet individual needs and goals.

Lisa focuses on helping clients uncover inner resources and practical techniques that can bring a sense of relief and promote self-empowerment. She emphasizes collaboration, tailoring therapeutic work to what will be most useful and meaningful for each person as they take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

When appropriate, she incorporates Creative Arts Therapy elements, using art, music, and movement materials to deepen self-expression, encourage relaxation, support mood enhancement, and help visualize strengths and goals. These modalities are offered as optional additions to traditional dialog-based approaches.

Her practice also includes attention to related concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, disaster-related coping, forgiveness, hoarding, intellectual disability, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, multicultural issues, postpartum depression, workplace challenges, and young adult transitions.
