Virtual Therapy for Adults in Illinois, Missouri & Florida
At Starfish Wellness, PLLC, I believe that mental health is about more than simply managing symptoms—it's about creating a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and aligned with your values. Through holistic, evidence-based therapy, I support clients in addressing the interconnected physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual aspects of well-being within a safe, restorative virtual environment.​
​You don't have to wait until you're in crisis to seek support. Many people begin therapy because they want to manage chronic stress, recover from burnout, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, clarify career or educational goals, or gain a deeper understanding of themselves. Therapy is an investment in your well-being—a dedicated space where you can feel heard, gain new perspectives, and develop practical tools for lasting growth. Together, we can identify your strengths, clarify what matters most to you, and create meaningful change that helps you move forward with greater confidence, purpose, and resilience.

Start With The Starfish Approach.
A free guide to regenerating through anxiety and burnout — five arms of wellness, one steady way back to yourself. Written by Cass Palacios, LCSW, this 30-page e-book is grounded in real research and gentle enough to read in one sitting.
​
If you've been feeling stretched thin, foggy, irritable, or like you're running on empty no matter how much you rest, you're not imagining it — and you're not broken. Anxiety and burnout are two of the most common struggles adults face today, and they rarely show up one at a time. The World Health Organization now formally recognizes burnout as a distinct occupational phenomenon marked by exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced effectiveness, and recent data from the National Institute of Mental Health shows nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences an anxiety disorder in any given year. The Starfish Approach was written for exactly this moment — not as a diagnosis, but as a starting point.
