About Jill
Jill Skelton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered care and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful for everyday life. She uses a collaborative approach that puts the client’s goals first.
Sessions are conversational and aim to build on each person’s strengths. Jill helps people untangle relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, and problems with addiction.
Background and approach
Jill draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She uses client-centered work to help people feel heard, cognitive behavioral tools to address patterns of thinking and behavior, and motivational interviewing to support change. She also integrates psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas when those fit the goals.
Her background includes many years in psychiatric settings and roles as a clinical supervisor. That experience informs how she assesses concerns like attachment issues, communication problems, family of origin matters, and substance use. She aims to make complicated topics easier to understand.
In sessions she emphasizes clear communication and practical steps people can use between meetings. Jill supports people navigating life changes, money stress, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, career questions, and self-esteem challenges. Her style is direct, warm, and respectful.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you so you feel understood and can set clear goals. It works well for relationship stress, parenting worries, and building self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and introduces specific strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, anger, and mood challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a brief, supportive way to clarify reasons for change and boost motivation when someone is unsure about steps like reducing substance use or changing patterns of behavior.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jill will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts tactics over time and checks in about what is and isn’t working so the process stays focused and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be useful when video isn’t practical or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief written check-ins that fit a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into everyday life.
