About Jerrilynn
Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and ADHD. Her work begins with listening and helping people notice their own inner sense of what matters most to them.
She encourages clients to change the stories they tell about painful events. Trauma, shame, and old survival patterns often shape those stories.
Background and approach
Jerrilynn helps people identify how those patterns affect daily life and relationships, and then she supports practical steps toward different outcomes. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based work to help people build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
Sessions are guided and focused on real-life changes rather than only talking about problems. Jerrilynn pays attention to emotional safety and to teaching skills for managing strong feelings, cravings, or panic. She helps clients set boundaries, reduce codependent patterns, and cope with grief or loss.
For people navigating career stress, caregiving burdens, or chronic health concerns, she works to integrate goals across life areas. Clients can expect a compassionate, direct clinician who values practical tools and personal insight. She practices in Florida and holds Florida and New York LMHC credentials.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several online formats.
How therapeutic approaches translate into online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without fighting them and then take steps toward what matters most. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values and action matter.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that lead to distress and practicing different behaviors and skills. CBT is often used for mood, anxiety, sleep, and some eating concerns because it teaches concrete techniques to change day-to-day reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose strategies that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining ACT and CBT tools or adding attachment-focused work to improve relationships and self-understanding.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into life.
