About Jill
Jill Skelton is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices from New York and uses a collaborative approach to help clients identify strengths and practical steps forward. Jill aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She draws from client-centered work to listen closely and follow each person's priorities.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when practical changes in thinking and behavior can reduce anxiety or improve mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes, and psychodynamic ideas are available for people who want to look at long-standing patterns rooted in earlier relationships.
Jill has a background in psychiatric settings and has supervised other clinicians, giving her experience with a wide range of diagnoses. She often helps people with relationship and communication problems, parenting stress, life transitions, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and financial or career worries. She also supports those facing pregnancy and childbirth concerns and family of origin issues.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. Conversations tend to be warm and direct, with attention to the skills someone already has. Jill works with clients to set short-term goals and adjust strategies as progress is made.
Her New York license is LCSW and she conducts therapy in English. For people looking for steady, experience-based support, she offers a blend of evidence-informed methods and listening-based care.
How Jill's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. The therapist creates space for people to describe their concerns and priorities, and sessions often start by clarifying goals and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change by exploring ambivalence and building commitment.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats allow flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can fit brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
