About Jillayne
Jillayne DiFrancesca is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, grief, depression, addictions, and other life changes. Jillayne also helps people facing issues related to family, parenting, and LGBT concerns.
She trained for a master’s degree in counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. Over the years she has worked in a variety of settings and with many different concerns. That practical experience shapes how she approaches sessions today.
Jillayne describes her style as client-centered. She focuses on listening and helping people find their own answers. In practice she combines that stance with approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused methods when they fit the person’s needs.
In a typical session she listens for what matters most to the client and then offers concrete tools and steps. That can include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, or setting short-term, achievable goals. She aims to keep sessions straightforward and focused on what will make daily life easier.
People often come for help with managing anger, improving communication, coping with loss, or reducing anxiety. Jillayne asks about goals early on and adapts the work as those goals change. Her practice is located in Texas and sessions are conducted in English.
How Jillayne’s approaches translate to online sessions
Jillayne commonly blends client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the person identify their goals and values. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused work targets the effects of past traumatic events and uses structured steps to help reduce their ongoing impact.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jillayne will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
