About Herbert

Herbert Stricklin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 35 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who want clearer ways to handle anger, stress, relationship tension, or shifts in mood. He focuses on everyday problems like feeling resentful, losing patience with partners or coworkers, and coping after separation or big life changes.

He uses straightforward talk and practical steps in sessions. Herbert draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thought patterns that feed anger and mood swings. He also uses the Gottman Method for relationship and intimacy concerns, and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe troubling life stories.

Sessions tend to involve identifying triggers, testing small behavior changes, and trying different ways of speaking and listening. He helps people practice new responses and notices what works or doesn’t. Work on anger links to broader concerns such as addiction, control issues, jealousy, and fatherhood-related stress.

Herbert’s background spans individual and relationship-focused work across mood disorders and trauma-related problems. He has helped people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and recovery from abuse. His plain, problem-solving approach aims to reduce the grip of repeated reactions and restore clearer choices.

He offers services in English and accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Herbert uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice the thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger and to try small, testable changes. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and mood patterns that feed temper outbursts.

The Gottman Method focuses on how couples talk and repair after conflict. It offers concrete communication skills and exercises useful for intimacy and relationship strain. Narrative Therapy helps people tell a different story about themselves and their reactions, reducing the hold of past events on present behavior.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative task. Herbert will work with each person to select techniques that match their goals, preferences, and what feels practical in daily life. He tests methods and adjusts them based on what the client notices and reports.
