She practices in Florida and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and relationship concerns.

Her work often centers on clear, step-by-step strategies. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. Sessions include skills practice, short experiments to try between meetings, and straightforward problem solving.
Jillanne also supports people coping with life transitions, workplace stress, and communication problems. She helps clients rebuild self-esteem, manage addictions, and address caregiver strain. The aim is to identify patterns that cause distress and develop concrete ways to change them.
When trauma and grief are part of the picture, Jillanne integrates approaches that focus on processing painful memories and reducing their daily impact. She also uses techniques to manage intense emotions and improve regulation in stressful moments.
Clients can expect focused conversations about goals and progress. Jillanne emphasizes practical tools that people can test in their daily lives. She guides steps forward without jargon and checks in on what works and what needs to change.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jillanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that lead to stress and to practice behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT sessions online focus on identifying specific thoughts, setting small experiments, and reviewing what worked between meetings.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These are practical exercises that can be practiced during brief check-ins and reviewed in follow-up sessions. When trauma is a key issue, she may use EMDR-informed methods aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and their impact on daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also assign brief between-session tasks that fit daily routines, making practice more practical for people managing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
