About Tina

Dr. Tina Lott helps people who are facing addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship stress, and related struggles. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC in Illinois and also holds the LMHC credential.

Her approach aims to be clear, direct, and respectful of each person's lived experience. She brings 11 years of clinical work to the room and combines that with academic teaching. She teaches counseling to master’s and doctoral students and studies stigma and recovery in her research.

Background and approach

This background informs how she supports people coping with co-occurring issues and addiction. Sessions focus on practical steps that can fit into everyday life. That can mean learning ways to manage mood, set boundaries, handle anger, improve sleep, or address unhealthy patterns like codependency and control issues.

She also works with concerns around intimacy, self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, and identity questions in LGBT communities. Her training path includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in addiction, a master’s degree earned in 2011, and a doctorate in counselor education and supervision completed in 2018. She also serves on professional boards and stays active in counseling organizations.

Outside of work she is a parent and enjoys exercise, painting, travel, and reading. That perspective shapes a down-to-earth style that aims to help people make steady changes over time.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Many evidence-based techniques focus on skills you can practice between sessions. One common approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills for mood and anxiety, such as breathing, activity scheduling, and sleep routines to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets relationship patterns and codependency by helping people notice unhelpful interaction habits, set boundaries, and practice new ways to connect and communicate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or adapt methods based on their goals, history, and what feels most useful. That process may shift over time as needs change and progress is made.

Online formats make this flexibility easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, written reflections, and follow-up between sessions. Together these options help people access consistent care while balancing family, work, and other commitments.
