People come to Luke Pigott when they feel stuck. A Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor practicing privately in Naperville, Illinois, he sees children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and autism, along with the strained relationships that often accompany them. The path here was indirect: over a decade in other fields came first, followed by three years of running his own landscaping company, a route he considers an asset rather than a detour. Between formal training at National Louis University and hands-on experience in residential addiction treatment, autism services, and outpatient care, the practice rests on one premise: clients make durable change when they are listened to without judgment and then held accountable for the change they say they want. Presenting problems vary, but being stuck is near universal. Some clients are caught in patterns of anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma response; others are strained by difficult relationships, or fighting their own relationship with themselves through body image concerns, intrusive thoughts, or emotions that feel unmanageable. Luke Pigott also works with families raising children with autism, and his background as a behavior technician informs his work. A single modality would not cover it. Pigott works across cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, play therapy, emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. The breadth is deliberate, since clients respond to different tools, and a counselor with children, couples, and adults in recovery on the schedule needs range. Constant across them is the environment. He aims to be a therapist who listens without judgment, fosters trust and reassurance, and then provides realistic, practical tools for coping and regulating emotions.
