About Luke Pigott Illinois

In Naperville, Illinois, Luke Pigott keeps a private counseling practice serving children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and the pairing lets him address mental health and substance use inside one therapeutic relationship. Anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and autism bring most people to him, along with the strained relationships that often accompany them. He reached this work through an unusual route: more than a decade in other fields, three of them heading a landscaping company he owned, and he counts that as an asset rather than a detour. Training at National Louis University and years in residential addiction treatment, autism services, and outpatient care converge on one premise: clients change durably when someone listens without judgment and then holds them to the change they said they wanted.

Most people who reach Luke Pigott describe being stuck: cycling through anxiety, depression, addiction, or a trauma response, worn down by difficult relationships, or at odds with themselves over body image concerns, intrusive thoughts, or emotions that will not settle. Families raising children with autism form another part of the caseload, and his earlier work as a behavior technician shapes the sessions.

No single modality defines the practice. Pigott works from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, mindfulness, play therapy, emotionally focused therapy, narrative therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. The range is a choice: clients respond to different tools, and a counselor whose week includes children, couples, and adults in recovery has to reach for more than one.

The room itself does not vary. He aims to be a therapist who listens without judgment, building trust and reassurance, then follows with realistic, practical tools for coping and regulating emotions. Every idea, thought, and emotion is fair game, with quality of life as the shared target; that openness sits alongside evidence-based practice and accountability for the change the client named.

Luke Pigott completed his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at National Louis University in Lisle, Illinois, finishing in 2026 in a program that included Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor credentialing. Science came first: a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Illinois State University in 2015, after he began college coursework at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. Wrestling followed him through both stops: he competed on the Indiana University wrestling team from 2011 to 2012 and with the Illinois State University Wrestling Club from 2012 to 2014.
