01About Corliss
Corliss Ivy is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of clinical experience in Illinois. She focuses on helping people notice what gets in the way of living the life they want.

Corliss trained in psychology and counseling in Chicago and continued post-graduate work in psychodynamic practice. She blends long-term thinking about patterns with concrete skills for coping now.
Background and approach
That means clients can name patterns from the past and also learn new ways to manage day-to-day stress and emotions. In sessions she uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are woven in to increase calm and self-awareness. Her approach is practical and compassionate. She helps people address anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Corliss also supports people facing divorce or separation, domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse, and life transitions like midlife shifts. People who do best with her tend to want both understanding and practical tools. Sessions can focus on short-term coping or on deeper, longer-term change.
Corliss welcomes questions and will work with each person to decide next steps.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person on their own terms. Online sessions use that same stance so the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities and helps them feel validated and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it works well for anxiety, depression, and stress when practiced in regular online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Corliss will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may blend approaches as needs change. The goal is a shared plan that balances immediate coping skills with any deeper work the person wants to do.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, journaling support, or when a shorter contact works better with a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into life.
