About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body image concerns, trauma, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping clients feel more capable and in control of their lives.
She uses a mix of methods rather than a single prescription. Jillian draws on Client-Centered principles to build trust and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
How Jillian works
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and EMDR when past events are affecting current functioning. Sessions are tailored to the person's goals and pace. Jillian invites feedback so treatment stays practical and relevant.
She focuses on teaching tools people can use between sessions, such as coping skills for overwhelming feelings and strategies for changing eating and self-critical patterns. Jillian has particular experience helping people with body image and disordered eating, caregiving stress, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and family of origin issues.
She also supports those navigating divorce, domestic violence aftermath, career pressure, and the emotional fallout from loss or disaster. Her work emphasizes collaboration and small, measurable steps. People who want a supportive clinician who will listen, help prioritize goals, and teach concrete strategies often find this style helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship, helping people feel heard and understood so they can set their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down upsetting thoughts and behaviors into manageable parts and teaches skills to change them, which works well for anxiety, depression, and eating-related patterns.Choosing the right method is part of the work. Jillian collaborates with each person to decide which approach or combination fits best based on symptoms, life circumstances, and personal preferences. She welcomes questions and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are suited to deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for simpler check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coping reminders, and shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
