As a licensed psychologist in Illinois with eight years of clinical experience, Dr. Lebersfeld emphasizes a warm, collaborative style that centers the client’s own knowledge of their life.
She brings evidence-based techniques together with mindfulness practices to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, often integrating cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance and commitment principles. Clients can expect a partnership focused on identifying workable strategies, building coping skills, and supporting changes that promote greater wellbeing and day-to-day functioning.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Dr. Lebersfeld commonly draws on cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. She also uses elements of acceptance and commitment work which helps clients clarify values and build flexible, values-aligned action despite difficult thoughts or feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be a collaborative effort. The therapist partners with each client to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust methods over time so interventions fit the client’s goals, preferences, and daily life demands.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care around work and family schedules, maintain continuity when life is busy, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward measurable progress.
