Jillian Sharp, LICSW, LIMHP

Jillian Sharp is a licensed clinical social worker based in Nebraska who brings a relational, strengths-based approach to therapy. She holds the credentials LICSW and LIMHP - LICSW denotes a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and LIMHP denotes a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and she has three years of professional experience supporting people through life changes and emotional challenges.

Jillian believes that healing and growth are possible for everyone and that the therapeutic relationship itself is a central part of that process. She views therapy as a collaborative journey and offers an open space to connect, especially after periods of isolation such as those experienced during the pandemic. Her work emphasizes empathy, compassion, and gaining new perspectives as pathways to feeling and functioning differently in daily life.

Her clinical focus includes grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns, and she welcomes the opportunity to navigate a client’s healing process alongside them. Jillian provides supportive, relational care that draws on strengths and multiple viewpoints to help people build coping skills, increase self-compassion, and pursue meaningful change. In her time away from practice she enjoys skiing, spending time with loved ones, and reading a good book.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Jillian Sharp

Jillian integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, accepting relationship where the client’s experience is heard and validated - this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and processing grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; CBT can help people manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by building new strategies for thinking and acting.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jillian works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care over time, blending techniques and perspectives to support healing and practical progress.

Online therapy with Jillian is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and geographic limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar environments, and access licensed professionals even when in-person visits are not feasible.
