Jill Miller, LICSW, MD, LCSW

Jill Miller is a licensed social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and substance concerns. She brings 18 years of experience in mental health and addiction work and focuses on meeting people where they are. Her style is calm and nonjudgmental, and she emphasizes building trust and clear rapport from the start.

Jill often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. She pairs that with client-centered techniques that emphasize the person's goals and pace. Mindfulness skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.

Many people come to her for help with depression, bipolar mood difficulties, panic and worry, or problems related to substance use. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship and communication problems, parenting strain, chronic illness or pain, and the everyday fallout of life changes. Jill lists ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, self-esteem, and career concerns among her focus areas.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She works primarily with adults and aims to tailor strategies to each person’s situation. Cost varies by location and follows a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions through the Start Therapy flow. Jill generally holds evening and weekend availability and uses a collaborative approach to set goals and plan next steps.

How Jill Uses CBT, Client-Centered, and DBT Online

Jill commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and coping with life transitions by breaking problems into clear steps and practicing new skills.

She also applies client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, building rapport, and following the person's pace and priorities. That approach helps when clients want a supportive space to sort values and goals. Dialectical behavior therapy elements are used when managing intense emotions, impulsivity, or recurrent crises, with skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jill will discuss options with each person, consider goals and preferences, and adapt methods over time so therapy fits the real-life situation. This collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and notice what helps.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, which gives flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful when visual cues and longer conversations matter. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging can support coaching between sessions or quick, focused check-ins. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep consistent progress.
