About Tiffany

Tiffany Ream is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on common challenges parents worry about, such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting struggles, and coping with big life changes. She also helps with depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, addictions, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. Tiffany works from Illinois and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions.

She aims to build a strong working relationship first. Sessions move at a pace that feels comfortable and respectful.

Background and approach

Tiffany listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them so they can make clearer choices. Tiffany uses straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She explains how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, then practices skills and small changes together.

The goal is workable tools that fit daily life. Her background includes a master’s degree in forensic psychology and a decade of clinical experience as an LCPC in Illinois. She has worked in independent practice, in-patient settings, group homes, and correctional facilities, which contributes to a practical, grounded style.

Tiffany often supports people facing trauma, first responder issues, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and compassion fatigue. She helps clients identify priorities, set achievable steps, and track progress over time.

Approaches for online family and parenting support

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people see how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Tiffany uses CBT to teach simple steps for changing unhelpful thinking and building coping skills for stress, anxiety, sleep, and mood problems.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, focuses on practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when parenting or handling family conflict.

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying goals and small, concrete steps toward them. This approach is useful when parents want quick, practical strategies to change routines, improve behavior, or tackle a specific problem.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, review options, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can be tweaked as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, and family schedules. They also allow continued progress between appointments by using brief messages or chat to check in on goals and practice skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
