Gillian Van Dien is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 17 years of experience helping people navigate challenging emotions and life circumstances. She offers compassionate, whole-person support that respects each client’s individual story while creating room for meaningful change.

Her work often centers on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and the impact of trauma and abuse. Gillian helps clients strengthen self-love and self-compassion, improve communication, and move through transitions with greater steadiness and clarity. She aims to support clients in recognizing unhelpful patterns, building resilience, and reconnecting with a sense of purpose.

Gillian has extensive experience supporting adults and teenagers managing stress and anxiety, as well as people working through depression. She also works with women navigating personal and cultural concerns, young adults facing new responsibilities and identity shifts, and individuals encountering midlife challenges. In a supportive therapeutic space, clients can explore difficult feelings, process past experiences, and develop healthier ways of thinking, coping, and relating.

Therapy with Gillian is collaborative and grounded in the belief that people already hold important inner resources for growth. Whether someone is dealing with social anxiety, workplace pressure, relationship dynamics, or questions of identity, she offers steady guidance and understanding throughout the process.
