How Jill’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on your goals and values. It means the therapist listens first, then helps shape the plan around what matters to you. This approach is useful for relationship issues, caregiver stress, and codependency concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to notice and change patterns of thinking and behavior. Online sessions can include short skill practices, thought records, and problem-solving steps that you apply between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression.
Mindfulness Therapy uses attention training and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can be guided during a session and then practiced between appointments to help with stress, trauma symptoms, or chronic pain management.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on your needs and preferences. The goal is to find methods that fit your daily life and help you reach clear, practical goals.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and makes it easier to practice skills in real-life settings between visits. Jill will help adapt techniques so they work in the way you prefer.
