About Chiralaine
Chiralaine Natschke, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois, has 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She works on stress, anxiety, grief, mood concerns, relationship and family issues, and ADHD using a goal-directed, collaborative approach. She describes her practice as practical and focused on measurable progress.
Natschke favors goal-directed treatment. She begins with a clear assessment and helps set specific goals. Therapy sessions then focus on steps that move toward those goals in a time-efficient way.
Her background includes roles as a mental health therapist, child welfare supervisor, school counselor, and crisis screener and therapist. That variety informs her work with adjustment problems, trauma and dual diagnosis, and chronic mental health concerns.
She draws on several therapeutic methods to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy inform work on mood, anxiety, and coping skills. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches are used to address relationship, intimacy, and family dynamics.
Natschke asks for active participation. She states that clients who engage with the process tend to get more from counseling. She also notes that progress depends on both the plan and the client’s involvement.
Sessions are scheduled at a frequency agreed on between the client and therapist. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts.
She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed based on how things are going.
