About Inga
Inga Kriltchev is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, with 10 years of counseling experience. She supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.
She describes her role partly as a life coach and uses an eclectic mix of approaches. Sessions move toward a defined goal and focus on practical steps. Inga frames the client as the expert in their own story and draws on a person’s existing strengths to address what feels hard.
Her prior work includes many roles with youth and families in the foster care system and with older and disabled adults. That background shaped how she handles difficult or layered situations and how she supports people through life transitions. She brings direct, solution-focused conversation to help people notice progress.
In sessions she helps clients name what matters next and identify small changes to try. Conversations tend to be goal oriented with attention to everyday obstacles. She mixes coaching style questions with clinical skills to help people build confidence and clearer direction.
People interested in working with her can expect straightforward planning, discussion of concrete steps, and follow-up on what was tried between sessions. The focus is on practical change rather than vague advice. She offers services in English and practices in Illinois as LCPC.
Approaches used and how online sessions fit into practical life
Inga draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a coaching mindset. Cognitive-based ideas are used to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns that get in the way of relationships and self-esteem. These methods help people test small behavior changes and track what shifts when thinking changes.She also uses goal-focused, problem-solving strategies to break larger life changes into manageable steps. This style emphasizes concrete actions, regular review, and adjusting the plan when something does not work. It is suitable for people wanting clearer direction after a job change, breakup, or health event.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit best based on their concerns, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
