About Christina
Christina Reed is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 25 years of experience. She meets people where they are and helps them move forward through stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, career transitions, and big life changes. Her tone is direct and compassionate, and she treats each person as the expert on their own story.
Christina uses straightforward talk therapy alongside structured skills when they help. Sessions focus on identifying what matters to the client, learning tools to manage difficult emotions, and taking small steps toward clearer choices.
Background and approach
She blends practical strategies with attention to emotions to make real change more manageable. Her approach draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix lets her address both feelings and behavior, from panic attacks and mood struggles to workplace stress and family-of-origin issues.
Clients often work on communication, setting boundaries, and coping plans for sudden setbacks or ongoing caregiver strain. Christina also supports people thinking about life purpose, midlife shifts, and challenges facing young adults. She keeps sessions focused and adaptable to each person’s goals.
Therapy is offered in English and conducted online through a range of formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to scheduling and the right session type. Christina aims to help people find clearer direction and lasting, practical change.

Online support
Emotion and Skill-Based Care Online
Christina draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work through strong feelings that get in the way of connection and choices. EFT focuses on what emotions mean and how changing emotional responses can shift patterns that feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and take committed action despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. ACT teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts, making space for emotions, and choosing actions that match what matters most.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what helps you make progress. Clients and therapist decide which tools fit best over time.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options make regular work on goals easier to fit into daily life.
