How Jill’s Approaches Work Online

Jill uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful themes. That approach can be useful for relationship problems, low self-esteem, and life transitions where a new perspective helps.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in connection and closeness. This helps when anxiety, intimacy issues, or longstanding family dynamics make relationships feel difficult. Client-Centered Therapy guides the sessions with a respectful, nonjudgmental stance so people feel heard while they work on goals.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jill will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and reading cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break, and messaging options offer short check-ins or written reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of connecting with a licensed professional.
