Ms Tina Mavalankar

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“I have experience in a number of concerns including burn out, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. Together we’ll talk about where you are, where you want to be, and create a plan to get you there. My services are completely virtual, allowing you to create change from the comfort of home.”

About Me

When burnout, anxiety, or life transitions feel overwhelming, I offer a steady, supportive space. We’ll explore your concerns, whether grief, trauma, or depression, and collaboratively develop a clear plan. This structured approach helps you move towards your goals. My virtual sessions mean you can engage in this work from the comfort of your own home. It’s about creating real change where you feel most at ease.

Approach

As overwhelm from work, loss, or life shifts shows up, I help you turn big concerns into clear, doable steps that fit your day-to-day. In our virtual sessions from Chicago I use brief, focused practices—mindful noticing, values-based choices, and practical cognitive tools—to slow things down and test what helps between meetings. You’ll leave sessions with simple experiments and language to shift how you respond to stress and mood shifts. This way of working often fits adults balancing career demands, grief, or persistent anxiety.
