About Jillian

Jillian Sharp is a licensed social worker who brings a relational, strengths-based approach to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and related challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasizes the power of connection in supporting growth and healing, believing that empathy and multiple perspectives can shift how clients experience themselves and the world. Jillian values working collaboratively to explore patterns, build coping skills, and foster resilience amid life transitions.

With three years of clinical experience and professional credentials as an LICSW and LIMHP, she blends supportive listening with practical interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused, client-centered practices.

Jillian aims to create an open therapeutic space where clients can examine concerns such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, eating or body image issues, career stress, and adoption or family-related concerns. She accepts clients in Nebraska and international clients and offers a range of online session formats to meet varied needs.

Approaches that inform online therapy and what they offer

Jillian integrates cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered principles, and emotionally-focused perspectives to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to shift them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes warmth, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and can explore personal values and choices at their own pace. Emotionally-focused elements attend to attachment and emotional patterns in relationships, helping people articulate feelings and improve connection where relational pain is present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work matches what the client needs and hopes to achieve.

Online therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful for ongoing therapeutic work.
