Background and approach
Sessions aim to rebuild self-esteem and improve communication skills. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Jillanne listens first, then offers tools that people can use between sessions.
She emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time. Jillanne uses a mix of approaches suited to each person’s needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical skills to manage intense emotions, and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is also part of her work for processing traumatic memories. People meet her for help with life transitions, workplace stress, caregiver strain, body image concerns, and grief. She supports those dealing with co-occurring issues like substance use or mood disorders and helps clients set clear, realistic goals for change.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jillanne often blends cognitive behavioral work with dialectical strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.She also incorporates EMDR for people processing trauma when appropriate. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation alongside memory processing to help reduce the intensity of traumatic memories. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most manageable before settling on a plan.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth work and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into a busy schedule.
