About Jill
She centers the work on each person's needs and pace. Jill uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and build trust. She combines that with cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and solution-focused steps to set short-term goals.
Her background includes work in shelters, hospitals and schools, plus time in independent practice. That variety informs how she supports people through grief, addiction, parenting strain, and changes like separation or career transitions. She also addresses intimacy issues, body image, and ADHD-related challenges.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Jill helps with things like coping skills, boundary setting, and managing strong emotions such as anger or shame. She also works on rebuilding trust after abandonment or attachment wounds and on recovery from substance use concerns.
Clients can expect a steady, down-to-earth style. Jill emphasizes collaboration and a focus on what will work day to day. Her goal is to help people move toward clearer choices and more manageable routines over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jill often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and following the client's lead. That approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and make sense of difficult events.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts strategies as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Many people find online therapy helps them fit appointments into busy days, shorten travel time, and continue consistent work during life changes. It can also make brief check-ins easier to schedule between other responsibilities.
