About Jillian
With 10 years of clinical experience, Jillian focuses on common life struggles like sleep problems, relationship and intimacy worries, parenting strain, and career stress. She also works with people managing trauma and post-traumatic stress, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self-worth. Her background includes work with veteran and armed forces issues.
Jillian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Client-Centered Therapy to shape sessions. That mix lets her tailor practical tools and emotional processing to each person’s needs.
In sessions Jillian listens first, then helps set clear, achievable goals. She offers strategies for mood regulation, sleep, cravings, and communication. Some work is skill-based practice and some is reflective conversation about values and meaning.
Her approach is collaborative: clients and Jillian decide together what to try next. She emphasizes dignity, compassion, and steady support while people take steps toward change.

Many clients benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and cravings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and committed action, helping people live in line with what matters even when difficult feelings are present. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, and is useful for impulsivity and intense emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then blend techniques from different models to fit those goals. This means sessions can shift over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and make it easier to use worksheets, sleep or behavior tracking, and in-the-moment coaching that supports skill practice between meetings.
