Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Jillian often draws on Client-Centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered work means she prioritizes listening and building a strong therapeutic connection so people feel understood and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas when relationships or strong emotions are central. That approach helps people name feelings, track patterns in how they respond, and practice clearer ways to express needs in relationships. Together, these approaches offer both emotional understanding and practical steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jillian collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts methods if something isn’t helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief coaching between visits. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
