Compassionate, virtual mental health support in Missouri & Illinois for your specific stage of life

You Don’t Have to Pretend It’s Fine Anymore

Life was never meant to be this overwhelming. Maybe you’re living with high-functioning anxiety, quietly burning out under the pressure to succeed, or questioning your career, your relationships, or even your identity.

Maybe you just know that something feels off—and you’re tired of trying to “fix it” alone.

At CLS Counseling & Consulting, we specialize in virtual therapy for Millennials and Gen Z adults who are done white-knuckling their way through life. Our work is about helping you reconnect with yourself, trust your voice, and build a life that feels good from the inside out.

Anxiety, Overthinking, and Chronic Stress

Your brain’s constant hum of “what-ifs’ and worst-case scenarios is exhausting.

Therapy helps you quiet the mental noise and develop real strategies for calm, confidence, and resilience.

Feeling Stuck or Overwhelmed by “Life Stuff”

Sometimes there isn’t a neat diagnosis—just a sense that you’re spinning your wheels. We help you unpack the mental clutter and take empowered steps forward, at your own pace.
