About Nashonna
Nashonna Turner is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and life changes. Nashonna also focuses on communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.
She uses clear, practical conversation to help people name what feels off and decide what matters next. Sessions tend to look like straightforward talk about specific problems, practicing new ways to respond, and trying small changes between meetings. Clients are invited to notice how thoughts and values influence choices and to test different actions in everyday life.
Nashonna draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Attachment-based ideas guide discussions about how early relationships shape current patterns. A client-centered stance means she focuses on the person's perspective and priorities during sessions.
She encourages concrete goals such as improving communication, managing anger, or clarifying life purpose. Work often includes skill practice, role plays, and short homework tasks aimed at real-world changes. The pace is set with the client's comfort and goals in mind.
Sessions are conducted in English and are located in Illinois. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take small steps toward those values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and uncertainty about direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress, with practical exercises and homework to change daily routines. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and communication styles, which can help when relationship strain or trust issues are central.Deciding what approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest techniques to try. If one method does not fit, she will discuss alternatives and adjust the plan based on what works in your sessions.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the current session formats before booking since session options are not listed here. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into a busy life because they remove commute time, allow easier scheduling around work or caregiving, and let sessions be shorter or more frequent when needed. Some sessions emphasize verbal skills and planning, while others include in-session exercises or brief between-session tasks to practice new behaviors in daily life.
