About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses issues such as dissociation, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.
Jeanne uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation. She may also use emotionally-focused ideas and EMDR for trauma when appropriate.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and clearer patterns. Jeanne helps people notice how family roles and early expectations still shape reactions today. She also supports those working through addiction, shame, guilt, and feelings of emptiness while helping identify realistic next steps.
Her training includes a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science and a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology, both from National Louis University. The bio notes experience treating adolescents and adults in clinical settings, with an emphasis on trauma and addictions.
In practice, Jeanne combines talk-based work with skill building. Conversations may include examining childhood patterns, learning coping skills for panic or depression, and planning steps for recovery from substance problems. Practical goals and regular check-ins guide the work.
How Jeanne’s approaches translate to online work
Jeanne commonly draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to manage anxiety, panic, or low mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT skills teach step-by-step ways to handle intense feelings, reduce impulsive behavior, and improve interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with addiction-related urges and panic attacks.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, EMDR, or more client-centered sessions fit best based on the person’s needs and goals. That assessment happens together over the first sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekly routine, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain continuity while they address family-of-origin patterns, trauma, addiction recovery, or mood concerns.
