About Ramona
Ramona Hickey is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with seven years of experience helping people through hard seasons. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the ripple effects those issues cause in work and relationships. Ramona brings a calm, respectful presence and combines clinical methods with clients' personal values and beliefs.
She uses straightforward, practical tools in sessions. That can mean learning ways to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, practicing skills that ease strong emotions, or finding daily routines that support better sleep and eating.
Background and approach
When clients wish, she weaves spiritual reflection and Christian perspectives into the work. Ramona pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment concerns. She helps people address intimacy-related problems, communication gaps, codependency, abandonment wounds, and family of origin issues.
Parenting strains, fatherhood matters, and career stress are other common topics she tackles with clients. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person. Sessions include goal-setting, skill practice, and check-ins about what helps.
Ramona also supports people facing identity issues such as LGBT concerns, immigration stress, and recovery from addictive behaviors. People who prefer a gentle but purposeful style often find the format helpful. Ramona aims to create steady progress through regular work on concrete skills and values-based goals.
She describes therapy as a step-by-step process where clarity and confidence grow over time.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters most. It helps when life feels stuck or when values and actions feel out of sync. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety and depression. It often involves short exercises and behavior changes that clients can try between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process may mean combining approaches or adjusting tools as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face work similar to an office visit. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support frequent check-ins, brief coaching, or skill reminders between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while keeping a steady rhythm of support.
