About Christianna
Christianna Sullivan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) licensed in Illinois with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on common life pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family conflicts. Christianna also works with parenting concerns, career stress, grief, trauma and abuse, and attention-related challenges.
She uses a client-centered style that keeps conversations practical. Sessions look at what is happening now and what small steps can reduce stress. Solution-focused ideas help set concrete goals and track progress over time. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with anxiety, concentration, and emotional regulation.
Christianna has a history of volunteering with divorce recovery and family adjustment work, which informs how she approaches blended family issues and divorce-related stress. She also addresses caregiver strain, workplace concerns, and midlife transitions with straightforward planning and coping strategies.
Her approach favors short-term problem solving when that fits, and longer conversations when deeper processing is needed. Conversations are guided by the client’s priorities and practical constraints like work or family schedules. She brings direct, respectful dialogue rather than long theoretical explanations.
People meet with Christianna when they want clear ways to manage daily stress, rebuild confidence, or handle specific events like separation, bereavement, or job strain. She helps people identify small changes that can make routines feel more manageable. If you want to try a focused, down-to-earth approach, this is what she offers.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions use that same approach: the client sets priorities, and the therapist guides the conversation to practical next steps. This style suits people who want to address everyday stressors and relationship issues with a clear focus.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment practices to reduce anxiety and improve focus. In online sessions these practices can be introduced and practiced together, then adapted for daily routines at home or work. Mindfulness can help with anxiety, attention challenges, and emotion regulation.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, attainable steps and measurable progress. Online meetings can be used to set brief goals, check progress, and adjust approaches between sessions. That makes it useful for career problems, parenting strategies, and managing life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to try based on goals, needs, and schedule. That may mean combining listening-based sessions with brief solution-focused check-ins and mindfulness practice.
The practical benefit of online work is fitting sessions into busy lives. Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online meetings often make it easier to schedule brief check-ins around work, reduce travel time, and maintain momentum between appointments.
