Hello!
I am an independent licensed mental health therapist (LIMHP) and I have been working in the counseling field since 2015. I have experience conducting individual and group therapy, in-office and online, in the schools, and outpatient settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, ADHD, OCD, life-changes, and trauma.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in meeting everyone where they are in their journey and tailoring treatment to meet their specific needs. My approach includes a combination of humanistic, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and interpersonal counseling.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She's incredible
Great listener
She’s is GREAT! Not only does she listen but she asks questions and in engaging with the conversation. She seems to understand me and also asks clarifying questions to be sure. She makes me feel comfortable to share anything which is great and not always easy with any therapist. She Makes me think of ways to improve myself. I really like her and enjoy our time so much that I don’t want the session to be over
Jillyan is a wonderful therapist and has helped me tremendously. She is patient, warm, and attentive. Through her expertise, I've learned to focus more on things within my realm of control. My experience with her as a client has been positive and I'd recommend her to anyone!
Jillyan is nice and easy to talk to. I appreciate that she is a good listener and very supportive of me.
She’s an awesome listener and it feels like i’m talking to a friend every session.
When I first started therapy I didn’t know what to expect and I was nervous. However, Jillyan has made the process much easier. She has listened to me and guided me in the right direction. She has allowed me to cry, be angry, and be happy. She truly takes the time to listen and helps you with whatever needs you may need. She has given me a chance to love myself and to open up my life to the ones I love. I am beyond grateful for the connection I have with Jillyan!
very good counselor
Jillian S.is sweet. Kind. Caring and wants to really help me find the answers
Jillyan is such a great listener and really tries to help you in anyway that she can. She takes the time to listen to your feelings, concerns, and everything else. She also asks a lot of questions to be able to help you in helping yourself. Her suggestions in help are amazing as well. I was nervous at first but she made me feel as if we have been doing counseling together for years! She is amazing!
