About Christina

Christina Zivec is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience offering practical, strengths-based support. She centers evidence-informed therapeutic work on each person's goals, drawing on clients' existing abilities to address persistent concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with concentration and memory.

Background and approach

Christina approaches therapy with a respectful, empowering stance that emphasizes collaboration and clear steps forward. Her practice pays particular attention to issues often connected to identity and relationships, including LGBT-related concerns and intimacy-related struggles, along with focus-related difficulties commonly described as ADHD.

Christina also helps people navigate social anxiety, isolation, and communication problems by helping them build strategies that fit their lives. She encourages clients to acknowledge their resilience while exploring changes that lead to a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Christina works from Illinois as an LCPC and supports clients through a process that values courage, curiosity, and practical skill building. She invites those ready to make a shift to take the first steps toward change while offering steady guidance and encouragement throughout the therapeutic journey.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and coping strategies. One common approach involves skill-building for stress and anxiety management, teaching behavioral and cognitive tools to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another strand of her work addresses concentration and memory challenges by teaching strategies for organization, attention management, and task planning to support clearer thinking and productivity.

Determining the right therapeutic mix is a collaborative process. Christina works with clients to explore which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit. The emphasis is on shared decision making and gradual skill development rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work on focus, relationships, and well-being from wherever the client is located within Illinois. Licensed professionals can help tailor session types to the client’s communication style and practical needs.
