Jennifer Tiller, LCSW

Jennifer Tiller is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she focuses on what you need right now.

She shapes sessions around each person's situation rather than using one set plan. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented. Jennifer uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Mindfulness practices are offered for clients who want tools to manage intense moments. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas help when someone needs clarity about next steps or short-term change. These methods are mixed to match what a person says they want to work on.

Jennifer pays attention to issues such as abandonment and attachment, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also supports people facing guilt, shame, isolation, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy-related concerns, and questions about life purpose.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Jennifer aims to create a steady, practical plan and to build small, doable steps. She encourages people to try things between sessions and discusses what worked and what didn't.

Approaches you can use in online sessions

Jennifer commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, panic, and stress because it breaks issues into concrete steps you can practice between sessions. Client-centered therapy is another part of her work and focuses on listening, empathy, and shaping the pace to fit the person. That approach helps people feel heard and make choices that feel right for them.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to teach simple breathing and attention skills that can reduce overwhelm in the moment. Together, she and a client decide which approaches to try first and adjust them as progress is made. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process where goals, preferences, and results guide the plan.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for seeing facial cues and doing exercises that need visual interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or messaging provides a flexible way to send updates or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
