About Tiffany

Tiffany Wilhelm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin with eight years of counseling experience. She moved from a variety of nonprofit roles into clinical counseling and supervision, bringing practical skills from crisis response, group education, and residential treatment into her sessions. Tiffany focuses on clear, direct support and helps people find workable steps forward when life feels overwhelming.

Her approach is grounded in listening first. She creates a calm space where a person can talk through stress, depression, grief, anxiety, or difficulties related to parenting and family life.

Background and approach

She uses hands-on tools rather than long lectures, and she encourages small changes that add up over time. Tiffany draws on several proven methods to match a client's needs. She teaches mindfulness to help people stay present.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also applies dialectical behavior ideas for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Her background includes work with trauma, substance use, co-occurring disorders, anger management, and coping with life changes.

She has led groups on topics like anger management and depression and supervised programs focused on crisis response and protective placements. That mix gives her both clinical and administrative perspective. Tiffany believes the client is the expert on their own life.

In sessions she offers feedback, practical skills, and encouragement toward the goals a person sets. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and invites people to start when they feel ready.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship. In practice this means the therapist prioritizes what the person brings each session and offers empathic feedback to support clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for problems like anxiety, depression, and stress where practical exercises can reduce symptoms over weeks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals, try a method or two, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative stance helps tailor skills to parenting challenges, life transitions, or emotional regulation needs.

Online therapy makes those methods accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video and phone let people talk in real time, while chat and text can be useful for quick check-ins or practicing skills between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or when getting to an office is difficult.

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.
