Background and approach
Her background includes work in suicide prevention and helping people with persistent mental health concerns. In sessions she uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Emotionally-Focused techniques. She focuses on concrete strategies - changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills, and practicing awareness to reduce reactivity.
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and track progress. Clients can expect an honest, direct style paired with time to build rapport. Jillian prioritizes collaboration: she works with each person to choose practical steps that fit their life.
Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including relationships, career stress, caregiver strain, addictions, loneliness, and midlife questions. Jillian helps people sort priorities, regain energy, and move toward clearer purpose.
Online approaches that focus on action and feeling
Jillian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific patterns and teaches skills to test and shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people name and work with strong emotions in relationships or personal struggles. This approach supports understanding feelings and how they shape reactions, which can reduce conflict and isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jillian will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and pace. Together they set short-term targets and review what is working to adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face connection when that helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when the internet is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions suit people who prefer writing things out or need brief, timely support between longer sessions.
