About Tiffany

Tiffany Ream is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family concerns, addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and related life changes.

Background and approach

She also offers guidance around career questions, sleep difficulties, parenting challenges, anger management, self-esteem work, coaching, and non-monogamous relationship dynamics including polyamory. Tiffany brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice and applies that background with attention to each client’s unique needs.

Her approach emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. Tiffany commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to identify practical steps toward goals.

She adapts her methods to match client preferences and pace, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth. Tiffany’s training includes a master’s degree in forensic psychology and professional licensure in Illinois (LCPC).

She has worked across settings including independent practice, in-patient care, group homes, and correctional facilities, and she offers services in English through online and live formats for clients within Illinois.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Many clients seek targeted tools to manage symptoms and move toward goals, and Tiffany draws on structured, evidence-informed approaches to do that. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical goal-setting and small, achievable steps so clients can make progress even when time is limited.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and outcomes and then tailor techniques accordingly. Flexibility and client input guide whether sessions emphasize skills training, reflective work, or solution-oriented strategies.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for fitting care into a busy life. Video calls allow for face-to-face interaction when helpful, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide additional flexibility and ongoing connection between appointments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to continue consistent progress despite scheduling challenges.
