More about Jill
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Idaho with over 8 years of experience working in outpatient and inpatient settings. In addition, I have experience working in HIV prevention/education, medical facilities and psychiatric hospitals, and I am a social work educator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression and other challenges related to mood, anxiety, relationship issues, medical/health concerns (including HIV disease), and grief and loss. I have also helped many people who have experienced abuse.
My counseling style is focused on the relationship, and I believe that being present and open is of utmost importance. I am warm and interactive and will support your self-determination with dignity and respect. My approach combines narrative therapy, strengths perspective, cognitive-behavioral theory, and solution-focused interventions. Our interaction and treatment plan will be collaborative and designed to meet your needs.
It takes so much courage and strength to seek help and work toward change. If you are ready to take that next step, I am ready to help!
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She will actually make an effort to get to know you without getting unprofessional about it in any way. I don't want to be talking to a calculating robot and she gets that. She is also very good at listening and understanding what I'm saying before she tries to chime in with her own comments and advice.
Jill is absolutely unbelievable. She is incredibly caring, very devoted and helps with major progress. I owe everything to her, she will help change your life in the best ways as you go through challenge and darkness. She is an absolute all star , six star therapy all the way!
She has been incredible and I look forward to speaking with her every week.
So far I am incredibly impressed by her! She is extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to my concerns and needs as her client. She also provides me with some great feedback, diagnostic questions and tools for the following week to work on.
Jill has been absolutely unbelievable. She is extremely devoted, knowledge, caring and has the best advice. She really can bring you light when you are in the deepest depths of the most challenging situations. She is someone I will always turn to and she deserves every amount of praise. She is there every day for you and she just has been so confident and devoted. The live times whether video or live chats are a real way to make your week or period go so much smoother. I would like everyone at Better Help to know that she is an absolute all star.
