Background and approach
Jillian uses evidence-based techniques to teach coping skills and to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Clients can expect collaborative, down-to-earth work. Jillian values small, sustainable changes and focuses on tools people can use between sessions.
She also supports people dealing with behavior management and the stresses of parenting. Outside of her clinical work she enjoys family time, catching up with friends, watching favorite shows, and relaxing with her cats. Those personal interests inform a warm, relatable style in sessions.
Jillian holds the LCSW-R credential, which signals a New York clinical social work license. Her practice is based in New York and she offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that target thinking and behavior. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments. This helps reduce anxiety and builds more balanced thinking. Another useful method teaches concrete coping and behavioral strategies such as relaxation skills, activity planning, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. These tools help with stress, panic, and everyday overwhelm. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online sessions make regular therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between sessions for quick questions or brief updates. These options provide flexibility and accessibility, helping people stay consistent with therapy while balancing family, work, and other commitments.Questions people ask
