Professional Therapy Credentials and Experience

Michele Tennyson, LCPC

  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Illinois
  • Individual therapy for adults — in person & telehealth

I work with adults who are navigating uncertainty, life transitions, relationship challenges, or a desire for greater self-understanding. Many people I see feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of their direction, or ready to move beyond patterns that no longer feel helpful.

My approach is relational, compassionate, and grounded with a touch of humor when appropriate. I believe meaningful change happens through understanding, genuine connection, and learning to trust yourself over time.

Therapy is not about becoming someone different; it's about making sense of your experiences and developing a more accepting and confident relationship with who you already are. Therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most to you.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you with curiosity, respect, and support.

Outside the therapy room, I believe humor, music, and meaningful stories – whether in film, books, or life – can offer insight, perspective, and relief. These elements often inform the way I show up in therapy: present, curious, and human.

How We Work Together

A Collaborative, Tailored Approach

Relational & Compassionate

Meaningful change happens through genuine connection. Sessions are warm, grounded, and shaped by what matters most to you — with a touch of humor when it fits.

Focused on Self-Understanding

Therapy isn't about becoming someone different. It's about making sense of your experiences and building a more accepting, confident relationship with who you already are.

Present, Curious & Human

Michele shows up fully — curious, respectful, and real. She draws on humor, music, and meaningful stories to bring insight and perspective into the room.
