About Jillian

Jillian Sharp is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with three years of clinical experience. She practices in Nebraska and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She uses straightforward, relationship-focused work. Sessions aim to be conversational and practical. Jillian draws on client-centered methods to listen and reflect, and she uses cognitive behavioral tools when patterns or behaviors cause distress.

Her background blends supportive and relational approaches with evidence-informed techniques. She often brings mindfulness into sessions to help people manage strong emotions. Emotionally-focused ideas may come up when people want clearer ways to talk about close relationships or repair connection.

Jillian describes her work as strengths-based and perspective-oriented. She helps people notice different viewpoints and practical alternatives. That can mean shifting a difficult thought, rehearsing a conversation, or trying a short mindfulness practice between sessions.

People meeting with her can expect direct talk about what is happening at home and at work. She will discuss goals together and try approaches that fit the situation. If you plan to start, confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and clarify priorities when life is stressful or relationships are strained. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and offers practical tools to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jillian will collaborate on goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. That may mean combining reflective listening with concrete CBT exercises or brief mindfulness practices to manage strong feelings between sessions.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer sessions that use less bandwidth or a brief phone check-in when they need flexibility. The therapist will discuss the practicalities and adapt session length and focus so therapy fits into everyday life.
