About Jillian
Jillian Sharp is a licensed clinician who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. She writes simply and listens closely to understand what is most pressing for each person.

She brings a strengths-based, relational style to sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical steps a person can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Jillian values empathy and clear perspective-taking as tools to change how someone experiences daily life. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices. Sessions often include checking patterns of thinking, trying small behavior changes, and practicing in-the-moment awareness skills.
Jillian also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when relationship patterns come up in conversation. Jillian holds a Minnesota LICSW, which is Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and a Nebraska LIMHP, Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner. She has three years of clinical experience working with a variety of concerns related to trauma, grief, eating and body image, caregiving stress, and career or life transitions.
People who choose her can expect a kind, collaborative tone and straightforward guidance. She works by listening first, naming patterns next, and then partnering with each person to try tools that fit their day-to-day life. Her Nebraska practice also accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session formats.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. It centers on active listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and letting the client's goals guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings or make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and practical tasks to change everyday habits. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and impulsivity-related concerns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotional responses and how they shape relationships. It helps people name emotions, shift patterns of interaction, and build clearer communication when relational strain appears.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jillian will listen to a person's concerns, try a few methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The goal is to match tools to someone’s needs, goals, and personal preferences rather than to follow a single technique.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone calls can fit a busy schedule or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection, and ongoing coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent help while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
