About Tatyana

Tatyana Fertelmeyster is a licensed clinician in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and grief. She brings 15 years of professional experience and an encouraging, practical style to sessions. She treats coaching as part of care, offering executive and transition coaching when clients want help with life changes.

She starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths. That helps shape clear, realistic goals for therapy and coaching.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings to feel steadier and more in control. Tatyana works with common issues like attachment and communication struggles, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports people facing loneliness, searching for life purpose, and learning self-love after hard times.

Trauma, abuse, and grief work are approached with care and attention to pacing. Her approach is collaborative. Clients and she decide together which strategies to try and when to adjust.

Sessions are offered in English and Russian and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Focus areas and approaches

Online support

Online approaches and practical therapy options

Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach emphasizes skill-building for stress and anxiety - teaching breathing, grounding, pacing, and short cognitive strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning. These tools are useful for people facing work pressure or persistent worry.

Another approach centers on processing relationships and attachment issues. This work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and teaches new ways to communicate and set boundaries. It can help with communication problems, divorce and separation, and repairing trust after hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat is good for brief check-ins and quicker support between sessions. These options give flexibility for different rhythms and schedules.
