About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. She also supports those facing struggles with eating, body image, relationship stress, and self-esteem.
Her approach is calm and nonjudgmental, with a focus on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Jillian uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for strong emotions and interpersonal challenges. She is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past trauma underlies current problems.
In sessions she asks for regular feedback so therapy stays useful and relevant. Conversations focus on concrete skills, coping tools, and small changes that build confidence. Jillian aims to help people move from surviving to living with more meaning and ease.
Her work includes attention to areas such as attachment and abandonment wounds, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin issues. She also addresses concerns around grief, forgiveness, guilt, and shame. Over time, she helps people build clearer boundaries and steadier emotional footing.
Jillian offers several remote formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a short matching questionnaire.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening deeply, respecting each person's perspective, and building a collaborative relationship to set goals and choose the pace of work. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and practical support to try new ways of coping.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and eating-related struggles.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It teaches techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that are helpful during heated moments or ongoing stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jillian will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit their needs. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and adjusts the plan together, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to offer flexibility. These options let people connect from home or work and fit therapy into busy schedules. The variety of formats also makes it easier to use different tools between sessions, such as short text check-ins or scheduled video conversations.
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.
