About Jill
Jill Sheetz is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. She works with people who are facing depression, anxiety, grief, substance concerns, and anger, among other struggles. Jill focuses on helping individuals find practical ways to feel steadier and more in control.
Her style is client-centered and strength-based. Jill aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through painful memories and current stresses.
Background and approach
She encourages small, manageable steps toward change rather than overnight fixes. Jill draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses mindfulness practices to help clients notice reactions in the moment.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help set clear goals and strengthen motivation to change. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of life issues, including relationship strain, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, chronic illness, and challenges tied to identity and career. She often helps people cope with transitions and recurring patterns that cause pain.
In sessions Jill talks plainly and listens closely. She helps clients set realistic goals and practices to use between appointments. Her approach is collaborative - she and the client choose what to try together based on what feels useful and doable.

Practical approaches for online therapy and change
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people identify their own solutions and strengths. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching concrete skills to manage reactions and daily routines.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to observe thoughts and bodily sensations without rushing to act. These techniques can reduce reactivity and help people tolerate difficult emotions more easily.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and what they want to change. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or daily tracking. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity between meetings.
