About Jillianne

Background and approach
Jillianne aims to help people build coping skills and a clearer sense of purpose. She draws from human-centered methods that focus on the person in front of her.
Sessions emphasize understanding emotions, strengthening connections, and making choices that match each person’s values. Jillianne uses practical, strength-based steps to reduce symptoms and restore daily functioning.
Her work often addresses trauma and its effects on mood, relationships, and daily life. She brings techniques that include mindful awareness and exercises to release physical tension tied to traumatic memories.
This allows people to feel safer in their bodies while they process difficult experiences. Jillianne also supports people facing addiction, persistent shame or guilt, and moral injury related to military service.
She helps clarify communication patterns, set realistic goals, and repair or redraw relational boundaries. The goal is calmer days and clearer relationships, not quick fixes.
People who want therapy with a compassionate, direct clinician will find a steady partner in Jillianne. She works collaboratively to identify priorities and build tools that fit each person’s life and values.
Sessions are offered in English and available to clients in California and beyond.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. Sessions aim to create space where feelings are heard and values guide decisions, which is helpful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It supports those who want clearer communication, repair after conflict, or relief from loneliness and disconnection.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Jillianne will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative style helps match technique to what actually helps a client feel better.
Online sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or messaging can be a shorter check-in or an option when typing feels most comfortable.
These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions while using approaches that focus on emotion, meaning, and personal strengths.
