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 practices in Nebraska and focuses on concerns common in early adulthood such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, career questions, and ADHD.

Jillian works in a relational, supportive way that centers the person in the room. She listens for different perspectives and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions tend to include practical conversations about current problems and how feelings, thoughts, and behavior interact.

Her approach includes client-centered listening alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions can range from talking things through, to trying small behavior changes, to practicing present-moment awareness skills.

Jillian brings three years of practice to work with issues like grief, trauma, anxiety and depression. She also supports concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and impulsivity.

People who choose her typically want a straightforward, relational therapist who helps them sort through immediate problems and build clearer next steps. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the work feels.

Jillian offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions

Jillian combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address common early-adult struggles.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. It focuses on the person's experience and helps them make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and uses small practical experiments to reduce anxiety or unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and work through strong emotions in the moment, which can improve how they relate to themselves and others.

Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one fixed path.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm what is currently offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people use voice-only options when bandwidth is limited or they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools to virtual sessions so the work stays focused on practical change.
