Laura Adams, LCSW

Psychotherapist
25 E Washington St, Chicago, IL
I'm Laura Adams, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life events—bereavement, workplace stress, and supporting a loved one through mental health or addiction challenges. My clients are capable and successful in many areas of their lives, but they're exhausted from trying to hold it all together. They care for others but forget to put on their own oxygen mask first, leaving them worn out and running on empty. My approach is shaped by experience across diverse settings and roles. I believe all people have strengths to work through their challenges—they just sometimes need support along the way. I work from a strengths-based, ACT-informed perspective, which means we'll look at your situation with curiosity and compassion, not judgment, and work toward solutions that fit your life. While much of my work is short-term and focused on easing acute symptoms, sometimes current struggles mask deeper concerns like trauma that need a closer look. Whether we meet for three months or three years, I'm here to help you move through adversity in a way that aligns with your values and feels meaningful to you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Our first couple visits will focus on the reason why you decided to seek help, and exploring how things are going in your life. We will then work together to decide what goals to set for your therapy and how we will work towards them. My clients set the pace, and I also provide gentle guidance to keep you on track.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

After you schedule your appointment, I will reach out to you to answer questions and make sure that we look like a good fit for each other. I will also provide you with some paperwork to complete prior to our first session.
