About Christianna
Christianna Sullivan is an LCSW and LCPC licensed in Illinois with seven years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem struggles, life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and social anxiety and phobia.
Christianna uses a client-centered, solution-focused style in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps people set practical steps forward. Conversations tend to focus on coping skills, clearer communication, and small changes that fit daily life.
Her background includes years of work related to family adjustment and divorce recovery, along with a range of practice roles supporting caregivers and workplace stress. That history informs how she approaches blended family issues, parenting strain, and caregiver stress in therapy.
In session she may integrate mindfulness techniques to help manage anxiety and grounding exercises for stress. Solution-focused work looks at what has helped in the past and builds on strengths to solve current problems. Client-centered methods shape a collaborative pace and agenda that the person directs.
People typically leave sessions with concrete tools to try between meetings. Christianna also addresses career concerns, compassion fatigue, midlife questions, and issues around intimacy and self-love. For anyone unsure where to begin, she guides the first steps and helps set short-term goals.
Online work that matches approach and needs
Christianna draws on client-centered therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the person sets the pace and topics while the therapist follows their lead and priorities. Mindfulness methods are short, practical exercises to notice sensations and calm anxiety. Solution-focused work looks for what has worked before and builds small, achievable steps to move forward.Finding the right mix is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life, adjusting the plan as needs change. That collaboration helps clarify short-term goals and practical actions between sessions.
