About Jillian

Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about next steps. Her work covers common concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, and stress, as well as eating concerns and anger. She aims to make therapy a practical place for change, not just talk.

Jillian uses an individualized approach that pulls from different methods to fit each person’s needs. She focuses on building a non-judgmental relationship where people can speak honestly and get clear feedback. Sessions look at current patterns and practical tools to help with emotion regulation, problem solving, and daily coping.

People who struggle with body image, difficult relationships, or past trauma can find focused support in her practice. She also addresses issues like low self-esteem, attachment and abandonment concerns, and the impact of caregiver stress. Jillian works with eating and food-related issues with attention to behavior and feelings around the body.

Her style is direct but compassionate, inviting collaboration on goals and progress. She pays attention to what is working and adjusts the plan based on client feedback. The overall aim is to help people move from surviving to living with more ease.

Therapy with Jillian is offered in English and is tailored to each person’s situation. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get matched and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How Jillian Uses Different Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps people feel heard and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try techniques that fit those goals. If something isn’t helpful, the plan is adjusted based on ongoing feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as scheduling during a lunch break or joining from a different location when needed. Please confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. The focus online remains the same - using conversational work, skill practice, and targeted exercises to address concerns like anger, trauma responses, and eating-related behaviors.
