About Jillian

Jillian Baugh greets people who are ready to make practical changes in their lives. She focuses on helping adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career transitions, addiction concerns, and mood struggles. Her plain, direct style aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful from the first meeting.

Jillian holds a Doctor of Medicine (MD) and is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - clinical in Maryland (LCSW-C 28393) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina (NC LCSW C010717).

Background and approach

She has five years of professional experience across inpatient and outpatient settings and has worked with individuals and groups. That variety informs a flexible, experienced approach to common life strains. In sessions she uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside emotionally focused and mindfulness strategies.

She focuses on clear, action-oriented steps while also attending to feelings and relationship patterns. Conversations are direct, honest, and aimed at building rapport quickly. Jillian can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She helps people clarify goals, try new behaviors, and track small changes that add up. The work emphasizes realistic steps people can try between sessions. Many who choose her appreciate straightforward guidance and steady support while they face transitions, caregiving stress, blended family questions, and midlife or life-purpose concerns.

She invites a collaborative process that centers what the client wants to change.

Therapy approaches and how they work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. It is practical work that often includes short exercises to try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on patterns in close relationships and how emotions drive those patterns. It helps people notice what they feel in conversations and try new ways of connecting or responding when relationships feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jillian will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before to pick approaches that fit. That collaboration helps shape session pace, tools to try, and the focus for each meeting.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. These formats allow flexibility around work, caregiving, and travel while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional. Many people use a mix of formats depending on what fits their schedule and comfort level.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
