Konstantinos Stavropoulos, LCPC

Konstantinos Stavropoulos is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience based in Illinois. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, or big life changes. He speaks English and Greek and works with individuals across a wide range of concerns.

He aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. He listens first, then helps set practical steps you can try between meetings.

Konstantinos uses approaches grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy along with client-centered and emotion-focused ideas. That means conversations often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning new coping skills, and improving emotional connection with oneself and others. He also draws from dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas when they fit the situation.

In a typical session he helps people talk through their immediate problems, practice new skills, and plan small experiments to test changes. He can support work on relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, grief, career concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and many other areas listed in his specialties.

He encourages anyone feeling stuck to take the first step. The process begins with a short intake and a discussion about practical goals. From there he works with each person to design a path forward that fits their daily life and values.

Approaches you can use online with a licensed therapist

Konstantinos draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses in daily life; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress. He also uses client-centered therapy which focuses on active listening and tailoring the conversation to each person's experience, useful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of their feelings. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques appear when people need skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust that plan as progress unfolds. The process is framed as teamwork rather than a fixed prescription.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different situations. Video works well for in-depth sessions where seeing facial cues helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching between meetings, or when writing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches like CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills in real time.
