How Jillanne works
Conversations cover coping strategies, communication habits, self-esteem, and ways to manage mood or addictive behaviors. Her background includes supporting people dealing with grief, relationship struggles, career pressures, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges. She also addresses concerns connected to aging, caregiving strain, body image, and the effects of multiple health issues at once.
Jillanne draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and actions, Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques are also part of her toolbox.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through a range of formats. People choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits their schedule and communication style. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and an initial session is scheduled.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Jillanne often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when strong feelings disrupt daily life.She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is appropriate. EMDR focuses on reducing the emotional charge of traumatic memories by using structured processing techniques alongside guided attention. Together these approaches give options for symptom relief, skill building, and processing difficult experiences, and the therapist will work with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain consistency in care without travel.
