About Tatyana
Tatyana Fertelmeyster is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and life transitions. She also offers executive and transition coaching to people rethinking work or role changes.
She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory. People who feel stuck after a job change, separation, or loss can expect direct conversations about what matters next.
In session she listens for patterns in attachment and communication that keep problems repeating. She will talk through ways to manage shame, guilt, and isolation so they don't block decision making. When grief or trauma is present, she attends to both the immediate emotion and the next practical steps for daily life.
Coaching work centers on transitions and role shifts. That work looks at values, priorities, and small experiments to test new directions. Executive coaching addresses workplace stress and communication in concrete terms, with an eye to changes a person can try between sessions.
Tatyana works in English and Russian. She asks clients to set realistic goals and to track progress over time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can see if the approach fits their needs.
Approaches for direction and life transitions
Her work uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete change. One common approach is skills-based work for anxiety and stress management, which teaches coping strategies and brief tools to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another is strength-focused coaching for transitions, which looks at values, realistic goals, and small experiments to test new directions in work or life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options with the client, weigh their goals and preferences, and try methods that match what the person wants to accomplish. That collaborative process helps decide whether more coaching-style sessions or clinical therapy methods fit best.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time so a person can focus on practical steps between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt pace and structure to what a client needs, helping translate what is discussed into manageable actions.
