About Jillanne

Jillanne Hecker is a licensed mental health clinician practicing in Florida with six years of professional experience. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood concerns including depression and bipolar, and a range of relationship and life-transition challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice integrates practical strategies and compassionate listening to help clients navigate difficult moments and build sustainable coping skills. Her style blends evidence-informed interventions with attention to each person's history and values, helping clients rebuild self-esteem, improve communication, and manage cravings or addictive behaviors when relevant.

Jillanne draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness-informed techniques and trauma-focused methods to tailor work to individual needs. She aims to support clients in processing painful experiences, strengthening resilience, and finding constructive ways forward while treating each person with respect and empathy.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Treatment

Jillanne frequently incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while EMDR offers structured processing techniques aimed at alleviating the lingering effects of traumatic memories.

She also draws on elements of DBT and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and present-moment skills when appropriate. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process: the therapist and client review goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan together over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to engage in therapeutic work from varied locations, access brief check-ins between sessions, and choose modalities that fit their daily life while continuing to work toward meaningful change.
