Camillia Depke , LCPC

Camillia Depke is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 17 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. She uses a respectful and compassionate approach to help people take practical steps forward.

She works with teens and adults, and often helps people who are facing big changes. Sessions are collaborative - she and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as needed. She pays attention to how past relationships and family of origin issues affect current struggles.

In the room she talks through coping strategies for daily stress and anxiety. She helps people break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. For attention and concentration concerns she focuses on routines and skills that fit each person's life.

Camillia also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. She will look at how health, chronic pain, or aging affect mood and day-to-day functioning and adapt support accordingly.

Her style is down-to-earth and practical. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful on a day-to-day level. Getting started is framed as a gradual process, and she works at a pace that matches each person’s needs.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Two common, evidence-based approaches she uses focus on changing daily habits and addressing thought patterns. One approach centers on building practical routines and skills to manage attention, stress, and daily functioning; it helps people who struggle with focus, motivation, or overwhelm. Another approach looks at thoughts and how they shape mood and behavior, helping people identify unhelpful thinking and try different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, try different techniques, and adapt methods based on what helps. This collaborative process means plans change if something isn’t working and grow when progress is made.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper weekly sessions that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
