Jillian Sharp

Jillian Sharp is a licensed clinician who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem. She also supports people facing life changes, relationship and family concerns, eating and career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Jillian brings a calm, relational approach and emphasizes genuine connection in sessions.

Her practice centers on meeting clients where they are. She offers supportive, strengths-based care and listens for the patterns that keep someone stuck. Jillian uses clear, practical steps alongside reflective conversation to help people name feelings and try new ways of responding.

Jillian holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner credential. She has three years of experience and draws on several therapeutic methods, including Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused ideas.

In sessions she aims to make space for honest conversation about loss, identity, and difficult emotions. She pays attention to how relationships shape current struggles and helps people practice new ways of communicating and coping. Many clients find talking through real-life problems and testing small changes between sessions helpful.

Outside of therapy, Jillian enjoys reading and spending time with friends. She values curiosity and compassion in the work she does and invites people to explore what healing and growth could look like for them.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people address the impact of traumatic events through careful pacing, grounding skills, and working with memories and reactions so they feel less overwhelming. It is often used for people coping with past abuse, accidents, or other distressing experiences.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what’s said, and helps people clarify values and choices. This approach can help with low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and major life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques are commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography did not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so sessions can happen during a lunch break or between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, grounding skills, and behavioral experiments to an online setting so people can practice changes in daily life without changing their routine.
