More about Jill
- 18 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am an Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience . I specialize in treating adoption related issues, trauma, grief and loss, parenting issues. I am certified in TF-CBT, trained in EMDR and is and adoption competent professional. I serve children, adolescents, adults and families. I graduated with undergraduate degree in Psychology from Auburn University and with her masters degree in community counseling from Auburn University Montgomery.
Dr. Brené Brown says "When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending.", I believe this to be true and work with clients to create new endings through understanding our own stories, identifying triggers to block our growth, and identifying steps towards achieving desired outcomes. I provide a relatable, empathic, and calming approach. Because each person holds unique qualities and circumstances, I work to holistically understand clients and tailor the counseling experience around clients' specific needs and desires.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jill is great!! Would highly recommend her.
Truly everything I never knew I needed and so much more! Responsive and honest in the way I needed. She is great with worksheets and prompts. We did several edmr over this service cannot say enough good things!
I've said this before, but Jill is great. She's very understanding, she listens and above all, is empathetic. It's nice to feel "heard" and feel like somebody is in your corner.
I worked with Jill over the timespan of 15 months and my life has changed entirely in that time. Her open mind, listening ear and kind, understanding guidance has helped me to overcome so many struggles, some of which I never expected to overcome in my lifetime in such a relatively small timeframe. If there is ever another opportunity or need for counseling in my future life, I'd be glad to work with her again.
I really enjoy my therapy sessions with Jill - she gets to the point and also is very knowledgeable in her field. She provide a lot of back materials and book recommendations. I highly recommend her.
Thank you!
Jill has created a safe space for me to be honest and reflect on my experiences. She offers realistic and pragmatic advice when needed and has always been there to support.
Jill has helped me, and continues to help me, find an understanding of myself and how to be the best me. She provides a safe atmosphere in which to delve in to all aspects of my life.
Jill is amazing!!
Jill has been wonderful. She has already helped me a great deal.
Jill has been a great help and support for me! She is both professional and relatable at the same time. We have only had a few appointments so far, but I’m grateful that we were matched!
I appreciate a lot working on my issues with Jill. She's a great listener and always ask really coherent questions that help me work on myself.
Jill is the best! She is so understanding, helpful, and encouraging.
I have an enormous amount of respect for Jill. Even if she doesn't always have an answer, she listens to everything you have to say. She's very knowledgeable, compassionate, and of obviously, a great listener. I'm grateful I was connected with her as my therapist.
Jill is very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable of psychiatric approaches and techniques for whatever situation you bring to her. I am extremely happy with the quality of therapy I have received so far from Jill and excited to be able to continue forward with her.
I'm enjoying working with Jill because she's helping me to see things from a different perspective and helping me grow as a person.
What can I say, I've talked to Jill for about 8-9 weeks. She knows some of my worst fears, some of my worst secrets...she knows about pretty much everything that goes on in my head. She's really easy to talk to, and always seems to know what to say. She's got great advice, but only if you're willing to hear it, and take it to heart. She's really only been my only counselor, but I feel a connection with her and I enjoy our sessions. I'm just a random guy who needed someone to talk to, and fate gave me Jill as a therapist, and I'm glad the dice rolled that way. She's great, and I would highly recommend her to anyone else that struggles with being a young parent, a business owner, AND an employee.
Jill has been a wonderful help. She is always on time, available when I need her, and does her best to listen and help when she can. She always remembers our conversations and offers strategies to help me outside of our sessions. I feel very blessed to have worked with her.
She has really helped me a lot! Words cannot express how thankful I am for all her guidance.
Jill has been kind, understanding, supportive, and helpful. She both listens to my concerns and offers me activities to guide my thinking patterns in the positive direction. She is easy to talk to and I feel like she cares about me.
I feel like I found a friend whom I can tell everything. She guides me through my feelings and makes sure I understand what I’m feeling and how to accept it and let myself heal. She’s great! I will continue seeing her.
Great counselor...listener and coach!!!
Jill is the only person who doesn't think I am a loser.
Jill was very understanding and kind. She took the time to get to know me and my situation. I never once felt uncomfortable sharing information with her. She always talked to me with concern and compassion.
Jill is wonderful! She messages me usually very quickly and sometimes it surprises me when she answers because I wasn't necessarily expecting a response so soon. She's listened to whati I've told her and even has suggested a few things. She understands my concerns and gives specific answers rather than blanket statements or just general advice. She's always been kind. I appreciate her attentiveness and her caring attitude towards what's going on in my life.
Jill S. doesn't jump to conclusions and if I do she allows time and space for me to work through it some before giving her view/advice.
