Roger has spent his entire life being told to “tough things out.” As a child, his parents were always too busy to listen to his and his brothers’ concerns. When complications arise, Roger never reaches out for support — not from his wife, not from his siblings, and certainly not from his parents.
When something angers him, he lets his bottled-up feelings fester until they reach a boiling point. When that happens, he shuts down. He refuses to speak with anyone and refuses to eat. Instead, he locks himself in his room and pours himself into his work, leaving his wife worried.
When mental health concerns balloon, a helping hand can go a long way. A psychologist, therapist, psychiatrist, or counselor can offer support because of their training and experience.
In Roger’s case, they could:
- Help unpack the childhood circumstances that cause Roger to ignore his emotions
- Determine the internal and external triggers that cause Roger’s anger
- Provide coping strategies that helpfully and healthily address those triggers
Roger is dealing with anger management and communication problems, two common challenges that many individuals face. But whether we’re dealing with behavioral issues, mental illnesses, or grief, we all deserve the chance to improve our mental and emotional health.
Whatever your particular challenge is, know that the experts at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Chicago can provide the foundational support you need to navigate your concerns.
How Can I Benefit From Counseling?

- Working on issues of self-esteem

Talk with a Fully Virtual Psychiatrist
Our completely virtual psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses offer unique benefits and services. As trained medical professionals, they can diagnose and treat illnesses and administer prescriptions for medicine via telehealth. They undergo a rigorous educational process in medical school and must be recertified every ten years.
Working with a psychiatrist will allow you to tackle your illness, disorder, or challenge in a nuanced and professional manner. Some of the treatment plans and services a psychiatrist offers can include:
- Psychoanalysis or talk therapy, which may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps clients restructure their thinking patterns to improve their emotions and mitigate symptoms.
- Medication, which can be combined with other forms of treatment and in consideration of your medical history and needs.
- Assessments to help you develop coping strategies to utilize when your provider is not around.
