About Vasiliki
Vasiliki Stratikopoulou is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of practice. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with depression, trauma, grief, and the stresses of parenting and life change. Sessions are offered in English and Greek and she works with people who are also located outside the United States.
Vasiliki uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand what keeps them stuck. She helps clients name difficult feelings, spot unhelpful patterns, and try new ways of responding. Conversations often include practical strategies for managing anger, panic, or mood changes and steps for coping after loss or abuse.
She pays attention to everyday pressures such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, or the strain of divorce and separation. For parents, she can help sort through parenting stress and communication problems. Vasiliki also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, guilt, and isolation.
Her work is collaborative and direct. Sessions typically involve setting clear goals, checking progress, and adjusting the plan when needed. People can expect straightforward skills practice alongside discussion about meaning, values, and life direction.
Before a first appointment she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Costs vary with location, and the service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How evidence-based work translates to online sessions
Vasiliki draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify thought and behavior cycles that contribute to depression, anxiety, or impulsivity and then practice alternative responses in session and between appointments.Another approach emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions such as anger and panic. These techniques teach short, concrete strategies to reduce overwhelming physical reactions and to improve communication during conflicts and caregiving stress.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That selection can change as work progresses and new needs emerge.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapy consistent while juggling parenting, work, and caregiving demands.
