Shea Kamp, LCSW

LCSW in Illinois with 5 years of clinical experience, Shea Kamp focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related challenges. She works with adults who are managing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, substance concerns, or changes at work. Sessions emphasize practical skills and clear goals.

She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to guide sessions. That can look like learning skills to tolerate distress, practicing attention exercises, or clarifying motivation for change. Shea keeps sessions straightforward and skills-oriented so people can use what they learn between meetings.

She supports people dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, and aging or end-of-life concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, eating difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue. When addiction or substance concerns appear, she brings focused conversations about readiness and next steps.

In the first sessions Shea gathers history, current stressors, and what the person wants to change. From there she and the client set short-term goals and pick a few techniques to practice. Progress is checked regularly and the plan is adjusted as needed.

Shea describes her work as respectful and sensitive. She asks direct questions and gives practical exercises. People who prefer a clear plan and hands-on skills work tend to find this approach helpful.
