How Jillian’s approaches fit into online therapy
Jillian uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core elements of her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy identifies unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches practical exercises to test and change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are central. This approach helps people notice emotional reactions and shift how they connect with close others, which can reduce conflict and increase understanding.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillian will talk with each person about their goals, try out strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. She emphasizes working together to choose techniques that match a client's needs and preferences.
If you are considering online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools like between-session exercises and mindfulness practices that reinforce progress between meetings.
