About Jill
She has developed a broad set of skills and interventions to address depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and questions about purpose and life changes. Along with her LMHC credential - which indicates licensure to practice mental health counseling - she is a certified alcohol and drug counselor (CADC), and she completed eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) training and integrated EMDR into her practice in January 2019.
Known for a warm, caring, and nonjudgmental approach, she frames therapeutic work around support and empowerment. Jill works from several evidence-informed perspectives to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, helping individuals and families move toward more fulfilling, manageable lives through practical strategies and compassionate care.
Therapeutic approaches and online care with Jill Sherwood
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed actions aligned with those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings - it can help with stress, life transitions, and patterns that get in the way of what matters most. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related symptoms; Jill integrated EMDR into her practice in January 2019 to support healing from trauma and abuse. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist offers empathy and support while clients explore their goals and build self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jill collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds in partnership with licensed professionals and therapists when appropriate.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support during life changes. These options help make therapy accessible from different locations and in formats that meet varied communication styles and daily demands.
