About Jill
Jill Markowitz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Connecticut. She has five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Jill aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.
Her work often includes supporting people from the LGBT community and those facing grief, trauma, or struggles with addiction.
How Jill works
Jill also addresses concerns such as parenting challenges, relationship strain, self-esteem, anger, eating issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She uses practical strategies that clients can use outside of sessions. In early meetings she listens closely to understand each person's priorities and what they already know about their situation.
She treats clients as the experts on their lives and combines that insight with her clinical perspective to set achievable goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match the client's needs. Jill prepares clients with concrete tools to manage symptoms between appointments.
She expects therapy to be a process that sometimes brings up difficult emotions, and she stays alongside clients as they work through those moments. The aim is clearer thinking, better emotional balance, and stronger coping skills. People who prefer straightforward, empathetic support and actionable techniques may find her style a good fit.
Jill offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication preferences.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jill uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One approach emphasizes listening and skill-building so clients leave sessions with tools to manage anxiety, stress, and mood swings in daily life. Another approach centers on working through grief, trauma, or relationship strain by helping people name their feelings and try new ways of coping.Finding the right method is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She begins by asking about current struggles and what has or hasn't helped before, then adapts her approach as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in is easier without video. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving days while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
