About Jill
Jill Markowitz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) working in Connecticut. She has five years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Jill also supports people from the LGBT community and those coping with parenting pressures, addiction concerns, or attention and mood challenges.
She takes a straightforward, collaborative approach in sessions. Jill listens first to learn what matters most to each person. Then she shares practical tools clients can use between meetings to manage emotions and daily demands.
Jill treats the person in the room as the expert on their life. She combines that perspective with her clinical knowledge to set realistic goals together. Progress is paced to the client and she prepares people for moments that can feel hard or unsettling during therapy.
Sessions focus on building skills to talk through feelings, identify patterns, and try small changes that fit everyday life. Jill helps people practice new ways of coping so gains can last after therapy ends.
Her style aims to be warm and direct. She works with people who want clear steps and supportive listening while they navigate relationship stress, career strain, parenting demands, or grief and loss.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online work
Jill describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life practice. One common approach she uses emphasizes learning concrete coping tools for anxiety and stress, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure to difficult situations. These methods help people reduce overwhelm and build confidence in day-to-day challenges.Another frequently used element is structured problem solving that breaks big issues into manageable steps. This helps with relationship tension, parenting decisions, career stress, and transitions by creating small, achievable actions and tracking progress over time.
Finding the right mix is part of the process. Jill works collaboratively to identify what feels most useful based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She treats clients as partners in deciding which techniques to try and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of doing therapy online can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule, fewer disruptions from travel, and more flexibility for brief check-ins when needed. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you know what to expect. Jill aims to help sessions fit into everyday life while focusing on tools and steps that carry over outside of therapy.
