About Christianna
Christianna Sullivan, LCSW, LCPC, is licensed in Illinois and has seven years of professional experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career questions, depression, and related issues. She uses client-centered, mindfulness, and solution-focused approaches in her work.
Sullivan describes her style as client-driven and solution-focused. She emphasizes respectful and sensitive dialogue. Sessions are built around the individual's goals and preferences rather than a fixed script.
Her practice addresses practical problems such as blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, workplace problems, and midlife concerns. She also works with issues like compassion fatigue, social anxiety, intimacy-related matters, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Mindfulness techniques and client-centered conversation are part of how she helps people notice patterns and manage strong emotions. Solution-focused methods are used to identify small, achievable steps and build momentum toward specific goals.
She offers coaching-style support alongside traditional therapy when relevant. The intake process includes discussing what the person hopes to change and mapping a plan that fits their situation. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to a person's concerns and following their lead. It helps when someone needs time to talk things through and decide what matters most to them.Mindfulness Therapy offers simple skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress, grief, and strong emotions by teaching short practices to calm the nervous system and improve focus.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, concrete steps that move a person toward their goals. It is useful when someone wants quick, practical changes for problems like workplace strain, parenting challenges, or relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.
