Jillian Baugh

Jillian Baugh is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Her goal is to create a straightforward and honest space where people can talk about what matters to them.

Jillian draws on several therapy methods to match the work to each person. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also brings Emotionally-Focused ideas to conversations about relationships and feelings, and she uses Motivational Interviewing to support people working toward change.

Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and she has led individual and group sessions. Jillian has experience with mild to persistent mental health concerns and has spent time in suicide prevention work, which shaped her compassionate approach. She holds a Master’s degree in social work and practices as an LCSW and an LCSW-C.

Expect a direct and authentic style in sessions. Jillian emphasizes building rapport early so people feel heard and understood. She and each client decide together how therapy will proceed, with attention to practical goals and everyday life challenges.

The therapist asks new clients to use the site Start Therapy process to begin matching. Sessions are scheduled after a short questionnaire and arranging times that fit both schedules.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jillian commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her practice. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors step by step, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a client’s own goals and motivation, helping when someone wants to make life changes but feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillian works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in early and adjusts methods over time so the work stays practical and useful.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week and making it easier to keep appointments. Because the specific session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking to know which formats are available. The therapist will help arrange session times and a plan that fits daily life while focusing on clear, achievable goals.
