About Pneurissa
Pneurissa Stamps is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, trauma, and mood concerns. She emphasizes practical, steady support so people feel less overwhelmed and more able to handle day-to-day life. Her work often addresses panic disorder and panic attacks alongside issues like depression, anger, and low self-esteem.
She offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through their experiences. Sessions use plain language and aim to build better coping skills, clearer communication, and stronger emotional regulation. Faith and cultural values are welcomed in sessions when a client wants to include them.
Pneurissa blends approaches to meet individual needs. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Solution-focused tools are used when clients want quicker, goal-directed change.
Her background includes work with trauma, attachment wounds, and family-of-origin concerns. That experience informs how she supports people who struggle with abandonment, codependency, dissociation, or post-traumatic stress. She aims to help people reconnect with a sense of purpose and forgiveness when that matters to them.
Over seven years of practice, Pneurissa has worked with a range of emotional and life challenges. People who choose her often want a relational, steady approach that combines listening with practical steps. To begin, clients complete an intake and schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Pneurissa uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so sessions reflect what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions with less reactivity. Mindfulness can be useful for managing panic attacks, lowering stress, and building steady attention over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill practice, exploration of patterns, or a mix of methods that fits the person's needs.
