Online support
Approaches that guide online counseling
Jill draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to living by what matters most. ACT uses simple exercises and values work to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns; this work often helps with communication problems, trust issues, and family-origin wounds.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill talks with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most helpful. Together they try strategies, adjust what isn’t working, and build a plan that fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling easier to fit into busy days. Video lets people meet face to face for deeper work, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is low, and texting or live chat can be helpful for quick check-ins or coaching between sessions. These options aim to give flexibility and steady access to support without needing to travel.
