Jill Miller, LICSW, MD, LCSW - Therapist in Ohio

About Jill

Jill Miller is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience. She draws on client-centered methods to build trust and practical strategies that fit each person. Her style is calm and nonjudgmental, with a focus on clear steps people can use right away.

She mixes several evidence-informed approaches to match the concern at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation and stress tolerance.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and motivational techniques are used when learning new coping habits is needed. Her practice covers a wide range of issues including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She also addresses eating and sleeping problems, parenting, self-esteem, career challenges, and coping with life changes.

Additional focus includes caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance misuse. Jill has a background concentrated in mental health and substance use work throughout her career. She prefers to meet people where they are and to avoid forcing an agenda.

Sessions aim to build rapport, practice skills, and make steady progress toward practical goals. Services are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She works from Ohio and provides services in English.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship and listening closely to what matters to the person. It creates space for the client to set goals while the therapist offers support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems like sleep or stress.

The right approach is often found together. Jill works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking in on what helps, and adjusting plans so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These formats let people work on skills and practice new habits between sessions. They also give flexibility for evening and weekend appointments so therapy can fit into a busy life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
