Weronika Kmiecik, LPC — Anxiety, Trauma & Women’s Therapist in La Grange, IL

Find calm. Reconnect with your body. Feel like yourself again.

If anxiety, trauma, or constant worry are taking over your days, you don’t have to keep doing it alone.

I’m Weronika Kmiecik, LPC, a licensed therapist in La Grange, Illinois, offering personalized, evidence-based therapy for adults and teens. My approach blends CBT, EMDR, exposure, and somatic therapy to help you quiet your mind, reconnect with your body, and live with confidence again.

Anxiety & OCD Therapy in La Grange

Feeling anxious is human. Feeling trapped by it isn’t.
Together, we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Response Prevention to break cycles of fear and avoidance. You’ll learn practical tools to calm racing thoughts, face triggers safely, and expand your window of tolerance so everyday life feels manageable again.

If you’ve been looking for help with anxiety here in La Grange, you’re in the right place.

Trauma & PTSD Counseling

Past trauma doesn’t have to define your present.
As a certified EMDR therapist, I help clients process painful experiences using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing—a proven, neuroscience-based method that helps the brain heal from trauma.
Through somatic therapy, we also work to rebuild safety and trust within your body—restoring a sense of control and stability after experiences that took it away.

Common concerns addressed:

  • Post-traumatic stress and flashbacks

  • Abuse or neglect recovery

  • Medical or accident trauma

  • Relationship and childhood wounds

Women’s Issues & Perinatal Mental Health

Being a woman today often means juggling countless roles—mother, partner, professional, caretaker—while forgetting yourself in the process.
I specialize in women’s mental health, including:

  • Perinatal & postpartum anxiety

  • Hormone-related mood changes

  • Body image and self-esteem

  • Identity and life transitions

Together we’ll explore what fulfillment looks like for you and how to live in alignment with your values using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Cancer & Chronic Illness Support

When your body changes, your emotional world changes too.
For clients living with chronic illness or cancer, therapy can help rebuild trust in your body, process grief, and rediscover resilience.
I focus on compassion-based, body-centered counseling that helps you find peace and meaning even in difficult seasons.

Family & Relationship Therapy

When families struggle, everyone feels it.
Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and relational therapy, I help families and couples improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild empathy.
We’ll look at family roles and long-standing patterns together—so you can move from frustration toward connection.

My Therapeutic Approach

Clients often tell me that therapy with me feels collaborative, not clinical. I believe healing happens through connection—when we can be curious, kind, and honest about what’s really going on.

My toolbox includes:

  • CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

  • ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)

  • EMDR

  • Somatic Therapy

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems)

  • Narrative Therapy

Every session is tailored to your needs—no one-size-fits-all plan here.
