Ellie Riedelsperger, LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 12 years of experience providing person-centered, trauma-informed therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver burnout, and life transitions. I offer teletherapy for adults throughout Illinois. For Medicare clients, in-home therapy may be available, which can be helpful for individuals who have difficulty leaving their home or prefer care in their own environment.

I offer person-centered, trauma-informed therapy in a calm, supportive space where clients can talk openly and feel understood. I have over 12 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, caregiver burnout, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges that may feel overwhelming or difficult to name.

My professional background includes work in healthcare, hospice, and palliative care settings. This experience shapes my approach to emotionally complex situations, including caregiving stress, chronic illness, and medical uncertainty. I understand how layered these experiences can be and strive to help clients feel grounded, supported, and less alone.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to your needs. Sessions may include conversation, gentle reflection, practical coping strategies, worksheets, guided activities, or expressive approaches when helpful. I work with clients to understand how past experiences influence present thoughts, emotions, and responses, while developing skills that support stability, self-compassion, and healing.

I also offer a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your concerns, answer questions, and determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
