About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, and relationship struggles. She also helps people dealing with eating and body image issues and major life changes.
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career stress, and challenges like bipolar mood patterns. Jillian uses an integrative style that draws on several therapy approaches to match the person in front of her. She listens for what is most urgent and practical in each session.
In sessions she focuses on concrete skills alongside processing past experiences. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing emotion regulation skills, or working through upsetting memories. She also addresses attachment, abandonment concerns, codependency, and communication problems when these come up.
For people with eating or body image struggles she uses targeted strategies to reduce harmful behaviors and rebuild a more comfortable relationship with food and the body. She treats issues like guilt, shame, and forgiveness as part of broader life patterns rather than isolated problems.
Jillian encourages regular feedback so therapy stays useful. She supports clients who want help with divorce and separation, caregiver stress, family of origin issues, and recovery after domestic violence or other losses. Her approach aims to help people build manageable tools for everyday situations.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jillian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered techniques. CBT breaks down thought and behavior patterns into small steps and teaches practical skills useful for anxiety, anger, and depression. EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories and can reduce how upsetting those memories feel over time. Client-centered work means sessions pay attention to the person's experience and adapt to what feels most helpful.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and ask for feedback so the plan changes as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether more skills practice, memory-focused work, or supportive talk fits best.
The practice offers online sessions, but the specific formats should be confirmed before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Speak with the matching process about which session options are available and what will fit into your daily routine.
