Jillian Russell, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker who offers compassionate support to individuals and families navigating difficult moments.

Evidence-Based Care and Flexible Online Support

Jillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes identifying and reframing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, helping clients develop clearer perspectives and more effective daily habits. Another area of focus is strengths-based and collaborative work, which centers on recognizing existing resources and building resilience through problem solving and skill development that apply to family challenges, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillian works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts interventions over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and reach support from home or other convenient locations. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care while accessing evidence-based techniques from licensed professionals in a way that meets their life circumstances.
