About Petia
Petia Detchevska greets people with warmth and a practical focus. She listens closely, helps untangle stressful thoughts, and supports steps toward clearer goals. Petia aims to help people feel steadier and more capable as they face life changes.
Petia earned a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor license - LCPC. She has seven years of experience working in behavioral mental health across different settings.
Background and approach
That background means she has seen many common patterns of stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and substance use challenges. In sessions she combines client-centered care with cognitive and emotion-focused techniques. That looks like listening first, then offering tools to notice unhelpful thinking and to practice small changes.
She also uses mindfulness and skills from acceptance-based and dialectical approaches to help manage strong feelings and urges. Her practice addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, addiction, low self-esteem, and coping with separation or other life changes. She also helps with relationship and communication issues, codependency, body image, and cultural or immigration-related stresses.
Petia works with each person to set clear, manageable goals. She encourages steady progress through concrete exercises, skill-building, and supportive conversation. The aim is practical relief and clearer direction, one step at a time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it tends to help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding and shifting emotional responses to improve how people feel and relate to others, which can be helpful for communication and relationship concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist work together to decide which strategies to keep using and which to change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video works well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to access ongoing care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
