About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Jeanne works with adults who want concrete strategies for day-to-day challenges and for recovering from past harm.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build skills for managing strong feelings. She also draws on emotionally-focused and trauma-focused methods when needed.
Jeanne has particular experience addressing dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose. Her practice includes care for survivors of sexual assault and those with self-harm histories.
Her background includes degrees in applied behavioral science and developmental psychology. Jeanne emphasizes learning practical tools, steady skill practice, and making progress one step at a time. Sessions blend problem-focused work with space to process emotions.
People who choose her often want clear strategies they can use between meetings. She encourages active collaboration about goals and homework. The plan changes as the person's needs change, with attention to both immediate symptoms and longer-term recovery.
How Jeanne uses structured approaches in online sessions
Jeanne frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map connections between thoughts, behaviors, and moods. CBT sessions typically involve identifying specific thought patterns, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.She also uses Client-Centered methods that emphasize listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach helps people clarify goals and feel understood while deciding which practical steps to take. When intense emotion or self-destructive patterns are present, Jeanne may incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanne will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, and then suggest a plan that can adapt over time. The therapist and client check progress and adjust methods as necessary.
