About Jerrilynn
Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by guiding them toward clearer thinking and kinder self-talk. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at practical changes that ease daily life.
She draws on several evidence-based methods to help with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and related concerns. Sessions aim to identify the patterns that fuel stress, shame, and repeated behaviors.
Background and approach
Then she supports clients in testing new ways of responding to hard feelings and situations. Jerrilynn pays attention to how early experiences shape beliefs and coping habits. She helps people notice those old messages and replace them with more helpful ones.
That work often makes relationships, sleep, eating, and self-esteem more manageable. She also addresses grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and the impact of chronic illness or major life changes. Practical skills for emotion regulation and communication are paired with deeper work on meaning, forgiveness, and self-acceptance.
For people facing phobias or intense fears, she uses stepwise strategies to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Sessions may include thought work, exposure planning, and skill rehearsal to make daily life easier. Jerrilynn offers sessions remotely by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging.
She works in English and practices from Florida as a Florida and New York LMHC.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and chronic stress by building small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and sleep or eating concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods side by side when that helps. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people practice skills in real time and work through exposure steps with visual support. Phone sessions can be a shorter, lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing coaching, brief check-ins, and reminders between longer sessions. These formats increase flexibility and help people use therapy in ways that match their daily routines and challenges.
