About Christina
Christina Reed, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has 25 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, career issues, and coping with life changes. She frames clients as the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths to address current problems.
Christina uses practical talk and focused skills in sessions. She listens for what feels most pressing, then helps people try approaches that fit their goals. Sessions can include learning new ways to manage anxiety, practical steps for career or parenting challenges, and support while coping with loss.
Her work draws from several therapy styles, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix allows her to use skills training, values-based work, and relational focus depending on what a person needs.
Christina often helps people address communication problems and family of origin issues. She also assists with caregiver stress, workplace concerns, panic attacks, mood disorders, and questions around life purpose and midlife transitions.
Sessions aim to reduce stress and make daily life more manageable. Christina encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change. She asks about client goals and recommends practical steps to test in between meetings.

Approach and how online sessions can work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action. It helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose small steps that reflect what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to test new behaviors that reduce anxiety or improve mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connections in relationships. It can help people understand emotional responses and improve communication and closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them based on progress and feedback.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Confirm the current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or fit sessions into a lunch break. It can also reduce travel time and let people continue consistent work during life transitions. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to virtual meetings so progress continues between sessions.
