About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jeanne also addresses related concerns such as dissociation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and life purpose.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Sessions focus on identifying emotional patterns that keep someone stuck and on learning ways to respond differently. Practical skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and EMDR are included when useful.
Jeanne draws on a background in applied behavioral science and developmental psychology. Her clinical work includes treating trauma, substance-related concerns, and mood difficulties. She works with adults to talk through distressing memories, reduce harmful behaviors, and rebuild a sense of direction.
In sessions she blends listening with clear, concrete steps. People can expect a mix of emotional reflection and skill practice to manage symptoms and impulses. Treatment covers things like panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm concerns.
Jeanne offers therapy in English and practices in Illinois. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match a first session.
How Jeanne applies EFT and related approaches online
Jeanne commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people tune into difficult emotions and identify relationship and attachment patterns that keep those emotions stuck. EFT here focuses on naming feelings, tracking how they shape behavior, and practicing new responses.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes respectful listening and working at the client’s pace, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms, while EFT helps with deeper emotional patterns related to trauma and relational wounds.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jeanne collaborates with each person to decide whether EFT, CBT, DBT skills, or EMDR-informed methods make the most sense based on their needs and goals. She adjusts methods as progress is made and as priorities change.
