Christopher Perkins, LCPC

Christopher Perkins is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. As an LCPC he holds a state license to provide clinical counseling services, and he brings a practiced focus to addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He emphasizes helping clients identify and work toward practical goals while keeping their overall well-being at the forefront.

Perkins also attends to related issues such as abandonment and attachment concerns, control issues, drug and alcohol addiction, feelings of emptiness, family of origin dynamics, guilt and shame, impulsivity, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. He invites prospective clients to share what has become unmanageable in their lives so he can determine whether his areas of expertise align with their needs.

To comply with licensing requirements and to promote client safety, he collects basic personal and clinical information during intake. That process typically covers contact details and emergency contacts, prior mental health treatment and hospitalizations, current medications and prescribing clinicians, substance use, and screening questions about experiences such as psychosis or suicidal thinking so that appropriate next steps can be planned. Following assessment and evaluation, he will determine whether he can provide the level or type of care required and, when appropriate, assist with referrals to other providers.

Perkins also asks clients to review the platform terms of service that govern telehealth treatment for adults and notes that pricing, rates, and billing questions should be directed to the platform customer service at [email protected]. He reminds clients that the service is intended for consenting adults and that in a crisis situation they should contact local emergency services or call 911.
