About Christina
Christina Reed is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people address stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strains, career challenges, and coping with life changes. Christina works with adults seeking clear, practical steps to reduce overwhelm and make changes that fit their lives.
She uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on concrete skills, noticing patterns, and trying small experiments between meetings.
Christina treats concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, family of origin issues, mood and panic disorders, post-traumatic stress, workplace difficulties, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. She supports people navigating grief, young adult transitions, and women’s issues through practical strategies and steady problem solving.
Her style emphasizes the person’s own strengths and goals. She invites clients to name realistic steps and to test new ways of responding. Conversations include reviewing what worked, adjusting tactics, and building everyday routines that reduce stress.
Before starting, Christina asks about current struggles and priorities. She guides people toward clear goals and helps them track progress. The focus is on useful tools and manageable change rather than long lists of theory.
How Christina integrates structured approaches with remote sessions
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. It helps with panic, mood shifts, workplace stress, and common worries by breaking problems into steps and practicing new responses. ACT emphasizes noticing what matters most and taking committed actions even when difficult feelings are present; it can help when life changes or values feel unclear. Client-centered therapy centers conversations on the person’s priorities, allowing the client to guide goals while the therapist listens and reflects. Deciding which method to use is part of the work. Christina collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. She reviews what people try, adjusts strategies, and combines techniques when that serves progress. The biography did not specify session delivery formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems occur, which can speed up learning and everyday change.Areas of expertise
