Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jill uses a combination of proven approaches to address emotional and behavioral concerns in an online format. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and helps explore how early relational experiences affect current relationships and trust, making it useful for issues like abandonment, codependency, and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective and strengths, offering a collaborative, empathetic environment where individuals can explore feelings and build self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and provides practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Jill works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Jill is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care from different locations within California, and maintain regular contact between sessions when appropriate, while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to each individual.
