How Jillian’s Approaches Work Online
Jillian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing along with mindfulness techniques. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying practical changes to test what helps. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes the client’s own goals and reasons for change, useful for overcoming hesitation and supporting steps toward recovery. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, try different strategies, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process aimed at fitting methods to the individual rather than following a rigid plan.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know how Jillian meets with people. Many clients appreciate online sessions because they can fit meetings around work, reduce travel time, and choose formats that suit their energy level. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular contact, try brief check-ins between longer visits, and practice new skills in daily life.
