01About Christina
Christina Reed offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and work or life transitions. She draws on 25 years of experience to help clients sort through what matters and find manageable next steps. Christina is an LCPC licensed in Illinois and uses straightforward language during sessions so people know what to expect.
Her approach centers on the client’s own goals and strengths. She listens for what’s causing the most strain and helps people build clearer routines, coping skills, and communication patterns.
Background and approach
Small, doable changes are prioritized so progress feels real and sustainable. Christina uses several therapy styles depending on the need. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more helpful ones.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people who want to accept tough feelings while still moving toward a meaningful life. She also draws on client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on each person’s story and priorities. For those experiencing intense emotions, techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy can teach skills for managing stress and strong feelings.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy can support people wanting clearer emotional connection and understanding in important relationships. Sessions look at both current problems and how past family patterns show up now. Topics Christina commonly addresses include caregiver stress, workplace struggles, panic attacks, grief, and questions about life purpose.
She aims to help people feel steadier and more able to take practical steps forward.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Christina often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then take steps toward what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, unresolved grief, and life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel distress and to practice new, more helpful habits. CBT is practical and action-oriented, often helping with panic, mood shifts, and workplace stress. Client-centered work keeps sessions grounded in each person’s priorities and experience, so goals and pace are set together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christina treats approach selection as a collaborative process, asking about your goals, what has helped before, and how you like to work. Together you can try methods and adjust them to fit your needs and values.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to an in-person visit, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can work for quick check-ins or practical skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and changing schedules.
