About Jill

Jill Skelton is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices from New York and focuses on practical, collaborative work that fits into everyday life. Jill aims to make sessions calm and approachable so clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Her style centers on working together to find solutions and build on strengths. Jill uses client-centered methods to listen closely and shape goals around each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and motivational interviewing to support change in areas like substance use and habits. Jill’s background includes extensive experience in psychiatric settings and supervisory roles. That work exposed her to many clinical concerns and to different ways people cope with mood, impulse, and relationship struggles.

She brings that perspective to sessions while keeping conversations grounded and straightforward. In practical terms, she helps people with parenting stress, communication problems, intimacy and attachment worries, anger, and financial or career-related strain. Jill also supports people navigating pregnancy and childbirth transitions and those managing bipolar disorder or addictions.

Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and repeated check-ins so progress stays visible. Jill prefers a warm, respectful approach where clients’ strengths are noticed and used as part of the work. She offers therapy in English from her New York practice and blends different methods to match each person’s situation.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Jill commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building goals that matter to the person. It helps when someone needs support naming feelings, making choices, or finding inner strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thought and behavior and introduces small experiments and skills to change unhelpful habits; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat are helpful for shorter check-ins or steady support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life while keeping the focus on practical, goal-oriented work.
