How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used for online support
Jill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this is often practical work on daily habits, sleep, and the ways thinking fuels anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage small, values-based actions even when feelings are difficult. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are included to build emotion regulation, reduce impulsivity, and improve moment-to-moment coping.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will discuss your goals, preferences, and current challenges and then suggest which methods to try first. She often blends techniques so the work fits the problem at hand and the pace that feels manageable for the client.
The biography indicates prior telehealth experience but does not list specific session types here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy household schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Some methods translate well to virtual sessions - for example CBT worksheets, mindfulness exercises, and DBT skills practice can be used in a video or phone meeting to support parenting stress, relationship strain, and mood management.
