About Jillayne
Jillayne DiFrancesca is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so people can say what they mean and feel understood. Jillayne aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about reaching out.
She brings 16 years of experience across community and clinical settings in Texas. Jillayne trained at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi and holds a master’s degree in counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling.
Background and approach
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, parenting and family stress, and coping with major life changes. Jillayne uses a client-centered style that focuses on the person in front of her. She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused methods to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving.
For clients with histories of trauma, she integrates trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories at a pace that feels tolerable. Sessions aim to identify small, meaningful steps a person can try between meetings. Jillayne often helps people build clearer communication, set boundaries, and reduce intense reactions.
She also supports those navigating end-of-life, hospice concerns, or blended family transitions. Her tone is direct but warm, inviting people to work toward realistic goals. People who want steady, experienced guidance for anger, control issues, or life transitions will find a straightforward, practical approach.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. Online sessions let a therapist reflect what is said and ask questions that help people find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It works well over video or messaging where homework and skill practice can be shared and reviewed together.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods best match the client’s goals and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and Jillayne will help tailor techniques to fit each person’s situation.
Online formats offer flexibility for busy days and different preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief notes, ongoing problem-solving, or between-session follow-ups. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a schedule and try approaches that feel most helpful.
