About Jillanne

Jillanne Hecker is a licensed therapist practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She holds LPCC and LMHC credentials and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. Jillanne aims to offer a respectful space where people can talk through hard moments and begin to make practical changes.

She often supports people facing workplace pressure, shifting family roles, and changes tied to aging or caregiving. Jillanne helps clients rebuild self-esteem and improve day-to-day communication. Sessions emphasize clear steps people can try between meetings to test what works in real life.

Her work draws on a few evidence-based approaches. Jillanne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. She incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach ways of settling the body and mind in stressful moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit for addressing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Jillanne describes her style as compassionate and practical. She listens for each person’s values and goals, then co-creates a plan focused on what matters most to them. Progress is measured by small, realistic changes rather than quick fixes.

People who choose her often want calm, steady guidance during big life shifts. She supports adults working through relationship strain, addiction concerns, mood changes, and caregiving stress. For those coping with loss or trauma, she aims to help people regain a sense of control and hope.

How specific approaches are used in online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then try small experiments to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It is useful when emotions feel overwhelming and when communication needs clearer structure.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. This is a collaborative conversation and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people access skills training and trauma-focused work from a location that fits their schedule. Licensed professionals will focus on practical tools and steps that translate into everyday life.
