About Pneurissa
Pneurissa Stamps is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression, and also addresses guilt and shame among other concerns. She practices in Illinois and holds the LCPC credential.
Stamps uses practical, person-focused methods to help people talk through difficult feelings. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person's own goals, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep distress going. Mindfulness techniques are part of her work when slowing down and observing feelings is useful.
Her background includes work with trauma and post-traumatic stress, and she incorporates trauma-focused and psychodynamic ideas when it matters to understand longstanding patterns. Stamps also uses Solution-Focused Therapy for concrete, short-term goals when someone wants specific steps forward.
In sessions she addresses relationship fallout, family of origin issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with codependency, dissociation, domestic violence effects, and struggles with forgiveness, guilt and shame.
Her approach is straightforward: listen, clarify what matters to the client, and try methods suited to the concern. Stamps explains options, discusses what to try next, and adjusts the work as the client's needs change.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Pneurissa Stamps often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and building goals from their priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to name feelings and make sense of their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps when someone wants practical strategies to shift anxious or self-critical thinking.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can blend listening, skills practice, and short-term planning depending on the issue.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday or evening routine and to continue work when life is busy. It can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require travel. Licensed professionals can use these possibilities to help clients keep momentum while balancing other commitments.
