About Tiffany
Tiffany Ream, LCPC, has 10 years of clinical experience and is based in Illinois. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, substance issues, grief, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, ADHD, and other life changes. Tiffany also works with people facing first responder stresses and those exploring polyamory or non-monogamous relationships.
She holds a Master’s degree in forensic psychology and is credentialed as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC. Her background includes work in private practice, inpatient settings, group homes, and correctional environments. That range informs a practical approach to common problems such as mood shifts, anger, and coping after loss.
Tiffany uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and Solution-Focused Therapy in sessions, and also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding. Sessions emphasize concrete skills, short-term strategies, and clearer decision making.
Expect a direct, collaborative style that prioritizes building a respectful working relationship before moving into skill practice. Tiffany aims to set a comfortable pace so each person can try new tools and see what fits. She views thoughts, feelings, and choices as linked, and uses that link to plan small, repeatable changes.
Practical issues like sleep, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and workplace stress are addressed with hands-on techniques. For people managing mood disorders such as bipolar or recovery from addiction, sessions balance symptom coping with everyday functioning. The aim is steady, usable progress rather than quick fixes.
How CBT, DBT and solution-focused work in online sessions
Many people find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, emotions, and actions and then tries practical exercises to change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance; it can help when mood swings or anger get in the way of daily life. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, realistic steps and on what a person wants to see happen next rather than on long histories.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and may combine elements from CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work to match what helps in real life.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone continue care while managing work, family, or geographic constraints. The focus in sessions remains on practical tools and regular practice to support change over time.
