More about Jill

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

If you are seeking online counseling support, you are among thousands of others currently struggling with depression, anxiety, illness, loss, trauma or other critical stress, whose timely access to care requires the flexibility of services offered by BetterHelp.

As a Master of Social Work, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I have over 30 years’ experience working with families and children across numerous settings, to include private non-profits, mental health, social services and K-12 education. I have worked with adults around issues of abuse and neglect, domestic violence, parent-child conflict, intergenerational trauma, and other associated diagnoses, to include depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and substance abuse. I retired from public education as a Director of Student Support Services in July 2020 and am currently also rostered as a Resiliency Educator. The training curricula used in this work is trauma-informed and heavily steeped in the body’s neuro-biological response to stress.

My approach to treatment is holistic, strengths-based, client centered, and solutions focused. I employ several techniques, to include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness training, psycho-educational counseling, resiliency tools, and case management, should there be a need for advocacy or other community supports. As a clinical social worker, I involve the client in their treatment to ensure the plan includes their goals and desired outcomes. Guided by the NASW Code of Ethics, my personal style is non-judgmental, respectful, genuine and sensitive to the individual’s situation. I am very comfortable dealing with individuals, couples, or families that are experiencing a crisis, and strive to provide a welcoming, safe space to a diverse client population.

Above all else, the relationship formed during our work together is critical to your success and satisfaction with the services offered. I have found that using the video option during sessions is the quickest and best way to create a strong, therapeutic connection, and encourage my clients to use that format whenever possible. My professional goal for all is to provide clients with the skills needed to manage their current circumstances along with the ability to apply those skills to future issues. Everyone’s journey includes inevitable bumps along the way. If my strategic approach aligns with your counseling expectations, I’m here to help you achieve your goals.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I cannot say enough about how incredible Jill has been to work with. She really took the time to listen and understand my person struggles and work with me to achieve my goals. She shows a deep knowledge of brain function and has provided me guidance, a plethora of resources and skills which have been instrumental in managing anxiety. In just a short time I feel like I have made noticeable progress with the help, encouragement, and empathy Jill has provided.

Reviewed July 2021

From my first session Jill was able to make a positive impact on my life. I was overwhelmed with life stressors and struggling with communication in my relationship. Jill helped to provide me with coping skills, well thought out therapy goals, supporting documents, and actions I could try at home that allowed me to have almost immediate positive results. She is a great listener and I felt that she truly understood my situation and knew exactly how to help. Her schedule was flexible with mine and I appreciated her checking in with me throughout the week between sessions. I’d recommend Jill Duffy to anyone who is looking for help.
