Background and approach
Her background includes 14 years of practice as an LCSW in community and clinical settings. Jill has worked with people facing trauma, grief, addiction, caregiver strain, and chronic illness. She also brings experience supporting people with relationship and parenting stresses and those coping with identity and multicultural concerns.
In sessions she encourages active collaboration so goals reflect what matters to each person. Mindfulness tools are offered for managing strong emotion and improving attention. When needed, Jill can help connect clients with community supports and resources.

She aims to teach skills that help in the moment and prepare people for future challenges. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
How Jill’s approaches work online
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and low mood because it breaks problems into specific, do-able steps.She also brings client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals front and center. That means the work is shaped around what each person wants to change, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help manage strong emotions, improve focus, and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jill will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative effort that can change as goals shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are recommended for building connection and seeing body language. Phone sessions can fit into busy days or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier between sessions. These options help people keep therapy practical and consistent with their daily life.
