Her sessions focus on clear, doable steps. She helps people build coping skills for strong emotions and daily strain. She also supports those dealing with addiction, relationship struggles, career stress, and changes that feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
Jillanne uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to notice patterns and change unhelpful thinking. She also integrates dialectical skills to manage intense feelings and EMDR elements when trauma memories get in the way of day-to-day life. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find and follow personal goals.
Her work emphasizes practical strategies you can try between sessions. She helps people practice communication, set realistic goals, and create routines that ease anxiety and low mood. The aim is steady progress, not quick fixes.
People who prefer a respectful, steady guide tend to do well with her approach. She keeps explanations direct and concrete. Jillanne has six years of experience and supports a wide range of concerns while respecting each person’s background and values.
How therapy approaches translate online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. Online sessions make it easy to practice these techniques in real time and bring concrete examples to talk about. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication skills; it can be taught in short skill-focused video or chat sessions for quick coaching during stressful moments. EMDR helps process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided techniques; in remote work this can be adapted into paced sessions that gradually reduce the intensity of distressing memories.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the plan if something doesn't fit or if new concerns come up during work together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, clarifying homework, or steady support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and varying schedules.
