Jill Miller , LICSW, MD, LCSW

Jill Miller is a seasoned clinical social worker with 18 years of experience focused on mental health and substance use concerns. She holds clinical social work credentials - LICSW and LCSW - which indicate advanced licensure in clinical social work. Over the course of her career she has worked extensively in both mental health and addiction treatment, drawing on a range of evidence-based methods to support adults navigating stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, relationship and family challenges, and substance use issues.

Jill adapts her therapeutic approach to the needs of each person, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-based practices, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to build practical coping skills and foster lasting change. She emphasizes meeting people where they are without imposing an agenda and aims to create a calm, non-judgmental environment in session. Jill has experience with related concerns such as panic attacks, codependency, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and impulse control difficulties.

She typically meets with adult clients and schedules many appointments during evenings and weekends to accommodate varied routines. Jill offers multiple ways to connect including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and in-app messaging, and frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on clear goals and practical strategies.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jill Miller draws on several practical, skills-based therapies to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship and supporting each person’s own goals and personal growth.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Jill works with clients to understand their priorities, strengths, and preferences, and tailors techniques so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method onto every issue.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, practice skills between meetings, and access licensed professionals from home or work, while preserving the same therapeutic focus and collaborative planning that guide in-person care.
