How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jill uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in practical ways. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and decide what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill will talk with clients about goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative, with adjustments based on what helps most over time.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people choose a quieter setting for talking or opt for audio-only when video is difficult. Ask about the available formats when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and practical needs.
