About Jill

Jill McCabe is a licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She offers a warm, interactive style and focuses on practical ways to change thoughts and everyday habits that get in the way of daily life. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build manageable skills for coping. Jill has worked with people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, divorce and blended family issues, and career questions. She has supported clients dealing with trauma, emotional abuse, PTSD, addiction concerns, and grief. She also provides guidance to family members caring for someone with serious mental health or substance use struggles. Her work blends client-centered conversation with evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Jill also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when they fit a person’s concerns. She tailors discussions and plans to each person’s situation instead of using one fixed method. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and changing unhelpful thinking and habits. Jill emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to make therapy a collaborative process. People who are worn down by panic, persistent low mood, sleep problems, or parenting stress often find the concrete tools she offers useful. She helps people break problems into smaller steps and build routines that support change. Many clients come away with clearer priorities and more confidence handling everyday challenges.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward their priorities and values.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and habits. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues, and managing everyday stress.

Mindfulness therapy supports paying attention to the present moment with curiosity. It can help reduce reactivity to strong emotions and improve daily routines like sleep and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which ideas and exercises to try and adjust the plan over time in a collaborative way.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to maintain momentum between appointments and to practice skills in everyday situations.
