About Jill

Jill Sexton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. She brings a calm, empathic presence to work that centers on adoption-related concerns, trauma, grief and loss, and parenting challenges, while also addressing a broad range of mood, relationship, and life-transition issues. As an LPC, she is trained to provide professional counseling and guidance across the lifespan.

Jill holds a bachelor of science in Psychology from Auburn University and a master of science in Community Counseling from Auburn University Montgomery. She is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - TF-CBT - and has received training in EMDR. She is recognized as an adoption-competent professional and integrates that experience into treatment for adoption, attachment, and family-of-origin concerns.

Influenced by the idea that owning one’s story opens the door to new possibilities, Jill works with clients to explore personal narratives, identify growth-impeding triggers, and develop practical steps toward desired outcomes. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods with a client-centered stance, tailoring sessions to each person’s unique needs, values, and goals. Jill aims to create a supportive environment where clients can process loss, manage mood disorders, improve relationships, and build skills for coping with life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Offered Online

Jill integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating major life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; it can help with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, supporting treatment for mood disorders, anxiety, and coping challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jill collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as therapy progresses to best fit the individual or family. This collaborative stance helps ensure that the chosen approach feels relevant and effective for the client.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals and include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home, work, or while traveling, and allow clients to select the format that best suits their communication style and daily life.
