About Tina
Dr. Tina Lott helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship pain. She talks directly about the daily struggles that come with low mood, trouble sleeping, and loss of confidence. Her tone is practical and supportive for those who want clearer steps and steady progress.
Dr. Lott holds a Doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision and earned her master’s degree at Governors State University. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Illinois. She also brings a background in addiction studies from her bachelor’s work and ongoing university teaching.
Her work often focuses on co-occurring concerns such as substance use and mood issues. She pays attention to how stigma and shame can make recovery harder and works to reduce those barriers in sessions. That can mean naming unhelpful patterns like codependency, control issues, or abandonment fears and finding practical ways to change them.
In sessions she blends discussion with concrete tools people can use between visits. That might include ways to improve sleep and eating patterns, ramps for handling anger, or steps to rebuild self-esteem. She also supports people navigating grief, intimacy challenges, and the stress of parenting.
Outside of clinical work she teaches counseling at the graduate level and pursues research on stigma and addiction recovery. She lives in Illinois with her family and values exercise, painting, travel, and reading as ways to stay balanced.
