About Kiya
Dr. Kiya Immergluck is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 41 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, depression, family matters, grief, and related issues. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Her approach focuses on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens to what is happening now and what patterns came from earlier family life. Sessions look at how roles, expectations, and communication from childhood still affect current relationships and choices. She aims to help people notice those patterns and try different ways of responding.
Dr. Immergluck adapts the pace and topics to each person. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood, coping skills, and relationship problems. Work can include developing better ways to manage stress, addressing addictive behaviors, and improving intimacy and communication.
With decades of experience, she draws on a broad clinical background to help people facing life transitions, career crossroads, or complex family origins. She also supports people dealing with grief, medical challenges like cancer, aging concerns, and sexual concerns including kink or alternative sex culture.
Practical steps are emphasized over labels. Early sessions typically clarify goals, identify repeating family patterns, and set small, manageable steps to test new behaviors. To start, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Two common evidence-based approaches used in this practice are cognitive-focused work and skills-based coping strategies. Cognitive-focused work helps people notice unhelpful thoughts that fuel anxiety, low mood, or relationship conflict, and practice different ways to think about situations. Skills-based coping strategies focus on concrete tools such as relaxation exercises, problem-solving steps, and behavioral experiments to reduce stress and manage cravings in addictions.She treats selecting a method as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels helpful. This co-operative approach aims to match techniques to the client's needs and preferences rather than assuming one fixed method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full appointment is not needed. Some people prefer sessions that don't require video, while others find visual connection useful - choices like these are discussed during the first scheduling steps so sessions work with everyday life.
