About Kiya
Dr. Kiya Immergluck helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges. She brings a direct, respectful approach and supports clients with compassion and sensitivity.
Dr. Immergluck is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and she has four decades of clinical experience to draw on. Her style is straightforward and collaborative.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and clear steps you can try between meetings. She works with people on mood concerns like depression and bipolar, on grief and trauma, and on intimacy or self-esteem issues.
Background and approach
She also addresses work and career questions, life transitions, and challenges linked to ADHD or compassion fatigue. She adapts the plan to each person's needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all method. That can mean short-term coaching-style conversations or longer work on patterns that keep repeating.
When substance use or addictive behaviors are part of the concern, she discusses coping strategies and realistic next steps. Dr. Immergluck also addresses less commonly discussed topics such as kink and alternative sex culture, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, and cancer-related stress.
She offers a nonjudgmental space to talk through complicated feelings like jealousy, codependency, forgiveness, or infidelity. With 41 years of experience she aims to help people find clearer options and build on what already works. If you want a counselor who listens and helps plan practical changes, she helps craft that path with you.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Immergluck uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and real-world change. One common approach is short-term problem-focused work that identifies current patterns and builds specific coping skills for anxiety, stress, or addictive behaviors. This helps people try small, manageable changes and track what works.Another approach emphasizes insight into relationship and emotional patterns. Through guided conversation and reflection, clients can notice repeated dynamics in intimacy, codependency, or family-of-origin issues and practice different responses over time. This approach is useful for concerns like grief, infidelity, or long-standing self-esteem struggles.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest options. Together you can adjust the plan as you learn what helps and what needs more attention.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
