Dr. Immergluck holds an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential, LCPC, and has worked in counseling for 41 years.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what will make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach emphasizes straightforward problem solving and emotional understanding.
She listens for what makes a problem feel stuck and then helps people try small, practical changes. Over time those changes can ease anger, improve relationships, or reduce anxiety and stress. She has experience with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, parenting strain, and issues tied to intimacy and sexuality such as kink and BDSM culture.
She also supports people with family of origin issues, addiction recovery, and cancer-related stress. People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through what matters. Dr.
Immergluck aims to empower each person to find clearer steps forward and to build coping skills that fit their life.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care
Dr. Immergluck draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, active steps people can use in daily life. One common approach she uses helps people notice unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practice small changes to reduce anxiety and anger and improve mood. Another approach centers on skills training for self-regulation - teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to manage intense feelings and cravings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The focus is on what works in real life and on building tools a person can use between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video lets people read facial cues and mimic an in-person meeting, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when on the go, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and messaging allows shorter updates or reflection outside sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work goal-oriented and practical.
