About Jillian

Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and challenges related to eating and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She combines practical, evidence-informed methods with a respectful, individualized stance to help clients identify patterns, develop coping skills, and work toward meaningful changes in daily life. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered principles and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and she is trained in EMDR for clients whose concerns link back to distressing memories.

Jillian emphasizes collaboration and ongoing feedback so therapy can be adjusted to each person’s needs and preferences. Jillian often helps clients address relationship and family dynamics, intimacy and attachment issues, career and parenting stressors, and difficult transitions such as divorce or loss.

She aims to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can build practical tools, explore the roots of their struggles, and move from feeling stuck toward greater confidence and wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to shift them. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and disordered eating by teaching skills for managing symptoms and changing patterns over time.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship and supports clients in exploring their values and strengths. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while they work toward goals at a comfortable pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will partner with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so that care remains aligned with what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from their own schedules and environments. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, manage ongoing stressors, or fit sessions into busy routines while working toward lasting change.
