About Me

Giulia Casani, MA, LMFT, CST

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Sex Therapist who works in the Chicago area. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, meeting each person with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment.

Are you facing challenges in your relationship, struggling with intimacy, or navigating major life changes such as trauma, loss, divorce, or cultural transitions? Together, we'll identify your goals and build on your strengths in a collaborative, client-centered process.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support trauma recovery. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space that is LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-positive, and poly-friendly.

With an international background, I deeply understand the complexities of cross-cultural experiences, whether you're an immigrant, expat, or in an intercultural relationship.

My Approach

Theoretical Approach

I take a systemic and strengths-based approach to therapy, integrating cognitive-behavioral, psychoanalytic, and mindfulness-informed techniques. My goal is to help clients improve communication, rebuild intimacy, and navigate challenges with confidence.

I believe every relationship has the potential for growth, and therapy provides a non-judgmental space to explore concerns, reconnect, and strengthen your bond.
