About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, and depression. Jeanne also helps people facing life purpose questions and related struggles such as dissociation, panic, and family of origin issues.
She trained in applied behavioral science and developmental psychology and brings a practical focus to sessions. Jeanne uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and prioritize the person's perspective. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and coping strategies.
When trauma is central, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside emotionally-focused techniques to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily life. Sessions include straightforward skills practice, reflections on patterns, and step-by-step ways to reduce symptoms like panic or overwhelming shame.
Jeanne also addresses addictions and substance-related concerns with attention to behavior change and relapse prevention. She talks through triggers, supports development of new routines, and helps clients reclaim daily functioning after setbacks.
People reach out to her when they feel stuck after a life change or when old wounds keep reappearing. Her approach is practical and focused on what to do next, helping clients make small, realistic changes that fit into ordinary life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy in her practice means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings each session. That approach helps clarify values and what matters when someone is questioning career or life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns because it pairs clear exercises with homework to change daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanne will collaborate with the client to choose CBT, DBT skills, EMDR, or emotionally-focused techniques based on the person's goals and what feels most helpful. That choice can shift as progress is made and new issues appear.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into weekdays or work breaks, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice behavioral experiments in real life and report back quickly. Licensed professionals adapt exercises like DBT skills training or CBT homework to work in remote sessions so the work stays practical and action-focused.
