How sessions work
How her clinical approaches fit with online work
Jillanne uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on clear, practical exercises such as tracking thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also draws on EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. EMDR is a structured method for working through distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge, often paired with grounding and coping skills learned in session.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before choosing methods. Jillanne adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits the client’s needs.
Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online work for fitting sessions into busy schedules, avoiding travel time, and using shorter check-ins when days are tight. Licensed professionals can also shift focus between skill-building, trauma processing, or motivational work depending on what is most useful in a given session.
