About Christina

Christina Zivec draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety and improve day-to-day functioning. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, or LCPC, practicing in Illinois with 15 years of experience. Christina uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies to help clients facing mood and focus challenges.

Christina often works with people dealing with depression, ADHD-related concentration concerns, and social anxiety or phobia. She also supports those facing intimacy-related issues and struggles connected to LGBT identity.

Background and approach

Many clients come for help with feeling isolated or having trouble communicating with others. Sessions focus on identifying small, achievable changes. Christina listens to each person’s story and highlights their strengths.

Together they set clear goals and try techniques that fit the person’s life and routines. She favors plain language in sessions and offers concrete tools rather than jargon. That can mean practicing new ways to handle stress, building a short plan for focus and memory, or rehearsing communication skills for difficult conversations.

Christina aims to create a calm, steady process so clients can try changes without pressure. She supports people as they take steps toward better mood, clearer thinking, and more comfortable social connections.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Christina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is brief, skills-focused work that teaches stress management and anxiety-reduction tools. These techniques help with everyday symptoms such as racing thoughts, panic, or ongoing worry by giving concrete steps to try between sessions.

Another approach targets attention and concentration challenges often linked to ADHD. That involves building routines, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and practicing memory or focus strategies that fit into a person’s daily life. These methods aim to reduce overwhelm and improve productivity in small, manageable ways.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to personal goals, tries techniques together, and adjusts plans based on what works. Clients and therapist review progress and refine the approach as needed, so care matches evolving needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between appointments, share quick updates, or fit shorter sessions into a break at work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use techniques in real time.
