About Jeanne

Jeanne Tilseth is an LCPC practicing in Illinois who centers her work on evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other modalities.

Background and approach

With 15 years of professional experience, she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression while addressing related concerns like dissociation, family of origin issues, and post-traumatic stress.

Her background blends a commitment to whole-person wellness with practical therapeutic tools: she draws from client-centered principles to build a collaborative relationship, uses CBT and DBT techniques to teach coping skills, and applies EMDR when trauma processing is indicated.

Jeanne also works with concerns such as panic attacks, substance-related problems, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, and women's issues, tailoring interventions to the needs a person brings to therapy. Clients can expect a therapist who integrates multiple perspectives to support emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual dimensions of recovery and growth.

Jeanne aims to guide people toward greater stability, improved coping, and clearer life direction through approaches chosen to fit each individual's goals and circumstances.

Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help

Jeanne commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, creating a supportive space where the person's experiences and goals guide the work and foster personal growth. When trauma is a primary concern, she may incorporate EMDR to support processing of distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to what is most useful for the individual at different points in therapy.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to receive consistent support without extensive travel. These options provide scheduling flexibility and allow clients to engage in skill-building, trauma work, and reflective conversations from locations that suit their routines and responsibilities.
