How Jill Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clear about what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It’s useful when anger or anxiety gets in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It is practical for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities, try strategies in-session, and adapt the plan based on what helps in everyday life.
