She writes and talks plainly, and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone who is unsure where to start.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, with room to process feelings.

Jillian also supports people coping with trauma, ADHD, sleep problems, addictions, and major life changes. She works on concrete skills for stress, anger, and communication problems, and helps clients clarify life purpose and values. Parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and relationship struggles are common topics she addresses.

Her approach is respectful and warm. She aims to meet people where they are and to challenge unhelpful thinking gently when it helps. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps toward change.

Jillian practices in Indiana and offers therapy in English. People can expect practical strategies, tracking of progress, and planning between sessions to keep momentum going.

How Jillian brings CBT and ACT into online sessions

Jillian often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical steps like testing negative thoughts, changing routines that maintain problems, and building coping skills for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and cravings.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful actions even when strong feelings are present. ACT is useful for managing avoidance, increasing flexibility, and strengthening motivation. Client-centered elements keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities and lived experiences.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and adjust techniques over time. Together you will decide whether CBT skill practice, ACT exercises, or other strategies best fit the challenges you bring.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video lets you work face to face and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, homework prompts, and ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress.
