Background and approach
Jill draws on approaches that teach practical skills for mood, impulse control, and day-to-day coping. Many clients come with overlapping issues such as substance use and mood disorders. Jill pays attention to how conditions interact and adjusts the focus as new problems arise.
She also addresses concerns like grief, relationship stress, parenting strain, and work-related pressure. Her work with anxiety can include steps to reduce panic, manage social fears, and limit avoidance. For people facing obsessive thoughts or compulsive urges she helps break cycles through gradual behavior changes and new thinking habits.
When impulsivity or process addictions are present, Jill emphasizes structure, routines, and skill building. Jill brings eight years of experience to her practice as an LPC. She conducts sessions in English and provides care through multiple online formats.
People interested in starting can expect a clear first conversation about goals and a plan tailored to their life.

04Online support
How evidence-based approaches work online
Jill uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where a person can set goals and be heard. This approach focuses on understanding the person's experience and guiding conversations around what they want to change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT involves practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will talk through the options and help choose methods that fit a person's goals, lifestyle, and preferences. The plan can change as needs shift or new challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let therapists observe reactions and teach skills in real time. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, between-session coaching, or ongoing reminders to practice new skills. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving schedule, or other routines.
