About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and life-change concerns. Jillian also has experience with eating and body-image issues and with mood conditions listed among her specialties.
Her work centers on practical skills and honest conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on building tools to manage distress. She uses clear, step-by-step strategies alongside time to talk about painful or confusing experiences.
Jillian combines several approaches so sessions can shift as needs change. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and she also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, when appropriate.
In practice she asks for feedback and adjusts work based on what helps. That can mean skill practice between sessions, focused problem-solving, or processing past events that continue to affect daily life. She helps people who struggle with eating behaviors to develop steadier habits and a clearer relationship with their bodies.
People who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin are offered concrete next steps. Jillian explains options, listens to what matters most, and helps set short-term goals that can fit into everyday life.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Jillian uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. This approach focuses on listening and shaping sessions around the client’s goals, which can help when someone feels nervous about speaking up or unsure where to start.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and works well for worry, social anxiety features, mood challenges, and habits around eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress in the moment, useful for people who get overwhelmed easily.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jillian will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, thought work, or processing past events such as trauma.
Because the specific session formats are not listed in the biography, please confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone join from a quieter location. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments, and Jillian will discuss practical details when arranging a first visit.
