About Jillian
Jillian Sharp is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Jillian also addresses concerns around relationships, family problems, trauma and abuse, eating and career challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She practices from a relational stance and emphasizes the role of emotional connection in healing. Jillian uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to help people name feelings and change unhelpful patterns. Sessions include straightforward conversation and practical steps to try between meetings.
Jillian describes her style as supportive and strengths-based. She pays attention to different perspectives and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Work in sessions often involves naming emotions, looking at automatic thoughts, and trying small behavior changes that make daily life easier.
People who come for grief, loss, trauma, anxiety, or relationship concerns can expect a mix of listening and active problem-solving. Jillian also brings in mindfulness practices when helpful, and she can use motivational interviewing techniques for motivation-related goals. She encourages exploring what matters most and testing new ways of responding.
Her approach is practical and relational. Jillian invites straightforward conversation about what is happening now, what has been tried, and what might help next. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Jillian uses EFT and other approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and patterns in close relationships. It can help when feelings are intense or hard to put into words and when people get stuck in repeating interaction cycles.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the therapist responding to what the client brings. This approach supports exploring values, priorities, and immediate concerns without a heavy agenda.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and uses practical experiments and skill-building to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift as therapy moves forward.
