About Tiffany

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 10 years of experience, Tiffany Ream supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar mood issues, grief, sleeping problems, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and first responder issues. Tiffany lists LGBT and polyamory or non-monogamous relationship topics among her focus areas as well.

Tiffany uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy, and incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and on building specific coping skills that can be used day to day.

Her background includes work in private practice, inpatient settings, group homes, and correctional settings. Tiffany has a master’s degree in forensic psychology and holds the LCPC credential in Illinois. That mix of settings gives her experience with a wide range of presenting problems and practical skill-building approaches.

In early meetings she prioritizes building a working relationship and finding a comfortable pace for the person she is helping. She emphasizes collaborative problem-solving and wants to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and choices connect to behavior.

People who choose Tiffany can expect direct, practical sessions that focus on skills, coping strategies, and short-term goals. To start she asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can begin setting goals together.

How her approaches are used in remote care

CBT helps people notice and change thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Techniques include tracking automatic thoughts, testing unhelpful beliefs, and practicing small behavioral changes to build better routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small steps toward them. Sessions often emphasize what is already working and how to amplify practical strategies for real-life problems.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Tiffany will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed over time. The first sessions typically involve goal-setting and deciding which tools to try first.

The biography does not list which remote session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote work to practice the same CBT, DBT skills, and solution-focused steps that they use in person.
