Background and approach

She brings a strength-based focus that looks for what is already working and builds from there. Her work includes attention to communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Jillianne supports people dealing with life purpose questions and the fallout from sexual assault and abuse.

She also lists experience with veteran and armed forces issues and post-traumatic stress. Therapy sessions blend listening with active tools. Clients can expect practical coping strategies, mindfulness practices, and techniques to reduce overwhelm.

Jillianne aims to help clients set priorities that match their values and take manageable steps toward change. She notes the use of trauma-focused tools such as trauma release exercises and mindfulness techniques when appropriate. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Her California license is LMFT 125126.

Online approaches that prioritize connection and coping

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect. It focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them find their own solutions. This approach is useful for people facing anxiety, depression, or questions about life purpose.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotions and attachment needs. It helps people identify their feelings, name them, and use that awareness to improve how they relate to others and to themselves. EFT can be helpful for processing grief, trauma reactions, and difficult relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations, including international settings. The variety of formats also allows for follow-up conversations and short check-ins between live sessions.

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.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
