About Tiffany

Tiffany Ream is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and life transitions. She supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and career-related stress. Tiffany aims to build a trusting relationship so people feel comfortable talking about what matters most to them.

She holds a master’s degree in forensic psychology and brings about 10 years of clinical experience across private practice, inpatient settings, group homes, and correctional facilities. That range of settings informs a practical approach to everyday problems and crises. Tiffany emphasizes moving at a pace that feels right for each person while focusing on useful skills and clearer thinking.

In sessions she commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy tools to help people change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and set achievable goals. She explains ideas plainly and helps clients try small steps between visits. The work tends to be collaborative and goal-oriented.

Tiffany also offers coaching-style support for career and parenting stresses and addresses concerns specific to first responders and non-monogamous relationships. She speaks English and practices in Illinois as an LCPC. To begin, she invites people to start at their own pace and name the changes they want to make.

Her focus is to give people a steady, nonjudgmental place to process, learn coping skills, and build routines that support better sleep and daily functioning.

How these approaches help in online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes emotion regulation and distress tolerance tools that can be useful when stress or trauma symptoms flare.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and clear goals. It helps people build on what already works in their life and test brief experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process can include mixing techniques from different approaches as needed.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Many people find virtual sessions help fit therapy into work and family schedules, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about what will best fit your routine and needs.
