About Jillian
Jillian Meher is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, grief, relationship trouble, and stress from life changes. Her work also addresses family problems, family of origin issues, and attachment-related concerns.
Her style centers on listening and adapting to what each person says they need. She uses plain talk and practical strategies in sessions. Clients who have struggled with eating or feeling at home in their bodies may find her approach focused on changing behaviors and thoughts around food and self-image.
Jillian integrates several therapy methods to suit different problems. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the person's perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when past experiences appear to be linked to current symptoms.
Sessions include discussion of practical skills, homework between meetings when helpful, and periodic check-ins about progress. The therapist asks for feedback and adjusts the work based on what is or is not helping. This makes sessions collaborative and task-oriented when needed.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the person says is most important. Online sessions using this approach emphasize reflection, clarifying goals, and checking in about how the work feels to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. In online sessions CBT often includes brief skill teaching, worksheets or agreed homework, and review of practical steps to change patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Delivered remotely, DBT-style work can focus on short skills practice during sessions and planning for real-life moments between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the first weeks of work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and ask for feedback to adjust the plan. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize CBT, DBT skills, EMDR, or client-centered work.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Therapists generally aim to match session timing and rhythm to everyday life while focusing on achievable steps between meetings.
