About Petia
Petia Detchevska uses a warm, direct style to help people manage stress, anxiety, substance use concerns, low self-esteem, and life changes. She listens closely and helps clients sort through intense emotions. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that build toward steadier days and clearer decisions.
Petia holds a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor credential. She earned her degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from National Louis University in Chicago in 2017 and has seven years of experience in behavioral mental health.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across multiple settings and with a variety of people facing everyday and complex problems. In the room she blends client-centered conversation with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. That means she follows the client’s lead while offering tools to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of coping.
She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take action toward them. Sessions commonly address relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, depression, and addiction-related concerns. Petia pays attention to issues like body image, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural stressors.
She helps people break larger problems into manageable goals and practical steps. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People meet by video, phone, live chat, or texting, whichever fits their routine.
Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.

Online support
How Petia uses evidence-based approaches online
Petia uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and share important feelings in clearer ways. That approach is useful when strong emotions get in the way of making decisions or connecting with others.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches ways to accept difficult thoughts while taking small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit too and focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and building new habits for sleep, mood, and behavior.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Petia works with each person to figure out which techniques feel most helpful, then adjusts the plan as goals evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure sessions match the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and rhythms. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, manage childcare, or keep regular contact while traveling.
