About Jill
Jill Markowitz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of clinical experience in Connecticut. She works with adults who are coping with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and anger. Jill also has experience supporting people from the LGBTQ+ community and others facing stress and relationship strain.
Jill’s approach is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people name what they are feeling. She emphasizes practical tools clients can use between sessions to manage emotions and respond differently in tense moments.
Early work together focuses on understanding what keeps problems going now. That can include spotting patterns in thinking, behavior, or relationships that raise stress and reactive anger. Jill and the client set clear goals and try strategies that feel doable in everyday life.
Sessions often mix talking with hands-on skills practice. Jill teaches techniques to calm intense feelings, ways to communicate when upset, and steps to rebuild trust after heated interactions. She encourages clients to try skills outside of sessions and brings those results back to therapy for review.
Jill frames therapy as a process that takes time and honest effort. She treats the person as the expert on their life and combines that firsthand knowledge with clinical methods. People who want a practical, steady way to handle anger, stress, and life changes tend to find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic techniques and how online sessions fit
Jill uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. One common approach is cognitive work that helps identify thinking patterns that fuel anger and anxiety, then practices alternative ways of thinking to reduce automatic reactivity. Another frequent technique involves skills training that teaches breathing, grounding, and communication steps to use during tense moments, which can lower intensity and improve outcomes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that match their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and therapist check progress together and choose techniques that fit the person’s daily life and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also allow doing skills practice from familiar surroundings and make it simpler to join from work breaks or between errands. Ask about the specific session options available when you schedule so you know what will work best for you.
