About Christianna

Christianna Sullivan is a licensed clinician practicing in Illinois with both LCSW and LCPC credentials. She brings seven years of documented professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns such as self-esteem and life transitions.

Background and approach

Christianna draws on a background of direct work with families and volunteers in divorce recovery to inform an empathetic, practical approach. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and collaboration; she adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person's priorities rather than using a fixed script.

Clients can expect a therapist who uses client-centered principles alongside solution-focused techniques and mindfulness practices to support coping, increase motivation, and address intimacy or parenting challenges. Christianna also lists ADHD, workplace issues, coaching, and compassion fatigue among her focus areas, and she frames progress as a shared effort between therapist and client.

Christianna aims to create an environment that is understanding and goal-oriented, helping people identify manageable steps toward improved functioning and clearer life direction. She encourages those ready to begin the process to take the initial step toward scheduling and assessment.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care



Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities guide the work; this approach helps people who want collaborative support to explore values, identity, and personal goals. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and present-focused strategies to build momentum and solve specific problems such as relationship strains or workplace issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and the therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist assess what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, balancing skill-building with practical problem solving.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, try different formats as needed, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
