About Jyl
Jyl Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience. She practices in Idaho and works with concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting and family struggles, grief and life changes.
She uses practical, skills-based work that focuses on strengths and measurable steps. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new responses. She aims to build a collaborative relationship so people feel able to speak openly and set clear goals.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and a Master of Social Work from Boise State University. She ran a private practice for eleven years working with individuals, couples, children and families on mood, trauma, grief and parenting challenges.
In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. That mix is used to address thinking patterns, relationship dynamics, and communication problems. Practical tools and brief skill practice are common parts of the work.
She also integrates elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus and uses mindfulness methods to help with stress and emotional regulation. Jyl includes coaching-style feedback when clients want direct, action-oriented steps toward their goals.
People who prefer structured, problem-focused sessions that still allow open conversation may find her approach fits. Before scheduling, confirm current session options and any format details you need to know.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jyl uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and create small experiments to test different ways of thinking and responding. CBT techniques are practical and often include homework-style practice to change patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how earlier relationship experiences shape current interactions and emotional responses. That approach can be useful when communication problems, parenting stress, or attachment concerns are central to the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your goals and preferences and make collaborative decisions about which methods to try. If relationship skills are a focus, elements of the Gottman Method may be included; mindfulness practices are used when stress management or emotional regulation is needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities. Remote sessions also let people use shorter check-ins when time is limited or choose audio-only when video is difficult, but check which formats are offered before scheduling.
