Caroline Czarnecki, MHC-LP
I’m Caroline, a mental health counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I’ve worked with individuals, couples, and groups in private practice settings, supporting people through anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, and major life transitions.
If you're stuck in unhelpful thought loops, overwhelmed by change, or struggling to feel like yourself, therapy can help you slow down and start untangling what’s going on beneath the surface. My goal is to make that process feel human, supportive, and doable.
In therapy, I take a collaborative, feedback-friendly approach—meaning I actually want to know how it’s going. Your experience in the room matters, and I regularly check in to make sure therapy is feeling helpful, productive, and like something we’re building together.
Clinically, I draw from psychodynamic theory, mindfulness practices, and evidence-based strategies to help you shift patterns that no longer serve you. We’ll look at how your past might be influencing your present, and work toward more self-awareness, self-trust, and sustainable change.
I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. If you tend to overanalyze, people-please, or struggle to set boundaries, you’re not alone and we’ll work on that at your pace.
Outside the therapy room, I love traveling, finding new restaurants, exploring art exhibitions, and reading nonfiction.
