About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties around eating and body image. She also supports people coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, career questions, and parenting strain.
Her background includes focused work with people who struggle with disordered eating and unhealthy relationships with food. Jillian uses a mix of practical techniques and conversation to help clients notice patterns, try new skills, and change unhelpful habits. She listens for what matters most to each person and adjusts the approach as they give feedback.
Her clinical methods include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). In sessions she breaks larger problems into manageable steps and teaches coping skills that can be practiced between meetings. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication problems, and control issues when they come up.
Jillian often helps people work through grief, forgiveness, guilt and shame. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, divorce and separation, and recovery from traumatic events. Her approach is collaborative and focused on concrete strategies the client can test in daily life.

How Jillian uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It emphasizes the person's perspective and helps people name what matters and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors link together. It uses short, practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting that can reduce anxiety or change eating-related behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and improved communication; it can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when self-directed behaviors are a concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jillian treats that choice as a collaborative process. She will help identify which methods fit the client's current goals, needs and preferences and will adapt strategies based on what the client reports is helping.
