Jeanne Tilseth, LCPC

Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work with adolescents and adults. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, and she has additional experience addressing dissociation, domestic violence, substance use concerns, and other complex aftermaths of trauma. Jeanne combines practical, evidence-informed methods with an emphasis on whole-person wellness to support emotional, mental, and social growth.

Her practice draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), selecting strategies that fit each person’s needs. She works collaboratively with clients to develop recovery and personal-growth plans tailored to their circumstances, whether the focus is on coping with panic or addressing long-standing patterns rooted in family of origin issues. Jeanne aims to guide clients through healing, skill building, and meaningful change over the lifespan while supporting realistic, sustainable progress toward greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeanne commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - this approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. For clients dealing with trauma, Jeanne incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeanne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. She adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds and as priorities change.

Online therapy with Jeanne offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit consistent care into a busy life and to access support from different settings. This variety of formats supports ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and continued progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
