About Jill
Jill Sexton is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage anger and related struggles. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, grief, parenting strain, and identity questions. Jill writes and speaks plainly in sessions so clients can quickly try new ways to respond to hard moments.
Jill draws on 18 years of counseling experience in Alabama. She blends practical strategies with a warm, steady style so conversations feel grounded and useful.
Background and approach
Clients can expect straightforward tools for thinking differently, managing intense feelings, and repairing important relationships. Her approach uses methods like acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral skills, and attention to attachment patterns. Those approaches guide short-term skills practice and deeper conversations about why old patterns persist.
Jill helps people identify triggers, notice automatic reactions, and practice small changes that add up. She also supports people facing trauma, adoption and foster-care issues, and struggles tied to family of origin. Other focus areas include ADHD, compassion fatigue, career concerns, and life transitions.
She pays attention to how past losses and attachment wounds shape present behavior. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and usable steps. Jill helps clients set practical targets, try new responses between sessions, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Her aim is to make therapy understandable and helpful from the start.

Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people identify values and take meaningful actions even when emotions are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood challenges, and learning new responses to anger and worry.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. That might mean practicing CBT skills between sessions, using ACT ideas to guide choices, or combining methods over time to fit what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face to face from different places. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill coaching, and follow-up between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
