How Jill uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, with practical exercises that reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness, which can help when impulses or intense reactions cause problems.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and will adjust techniques as progress is made. The plan is flexible and based on the client’s preferences and the problems they bring to sessions.
The biography documents telehealth experience, but it does not list every session format. Confirm the specific online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools like worksheets or real-time skills practice during the session to apply techniques to home or blended household situations.
