Thomas Buckner

Gary, Indiana - Licensed Professional Counselor
Online

As a licensed therapist in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey, with expertise in addressing depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and mood disorders. Please note that Better Help (or any specialty site) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or require immediate support. In such situations, please contact 911 or local emergency services. Alternatively, you can call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to speak with a crisis counselor immediately. I offer a supportive space for exploring life's most profound challenges, including social anxiety, relationship dynamics, personal growth, and healing from past experiences. My therapeutic style centers on understanding individual strengths and creating meaningful pathways toward emotional wellness. My practice embraces diverse experiences and perspectives, with a commitment to providing affirming, respectful care. Whether you're struggling with workplace stress, relationship transitions, or personal transformation, I'm dedicated to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance. I believe in the power of collaborative healing, where we work together to uncover your inherent resilience and develop practical strategies for sustainable emotional well-being. My goal is to help you cultivate self-understanding, build meaningful connections, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Jacqueline Liszewski

Gary, Indiana - Clinical Social Worker/therapist
Online

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed by their emotions, stuck in painful relationship patterns or are unsure of who they are becoming. I work with teens and adults who want a space to better understand themselves, build healthy relationships and grow from trauma. My approach is warm, collaborative and non-judgmental. I often help clients explore the different parts of themselves that hold difficult feelings, past experiences or protective patterns so we can understand them with curiosity rather than criticism. Together, we work at a pace that feels comfortable, focusing on practical insight, emotional regulation and meaningful change. What Sessions with Me Are Like Our sessions are meant to be a supportive and thoughtful space where you don't have to filter or perform. I aim to create an environment where you feel safe being honest about what you're experiencing, even if it is confusing, painful or difficult to put into words. In our work together, we'll slow down and explore what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts and emotions. Rather than judging or trying to "fix" parts of yourself, we focus on understanding them with curiosity and compassion. This often helps people develop emotional clarity, self-trust and healthier ways of responding to challenges. Some sessions may involve reflecting on patterns in your relationships or past experiences while others may focus on practical tools for managing emotions, communication or stress. My goal is for therapy to feel collaborative, respectful of your pace and genuinely helpful for you to build the life you want to live.
