About Jill
Jill Sexton is an Alabama-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 18 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, mood challenges, ADHD, grief, trauma, or parenting strain. Jill offers a calm and straightforward presence for people who want practical steps and clearer direction.
Jill takes time to learn each person's story and what matters most to them. She listens first, then works with clients to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building skills that fit everyday life, such as managing strong emotions, improving communication, and finding routines that reduce chaos. Her background includes a master’s degree in community counseling from Auburn University Montgomery and an undergraduate degree in psychology from Auburn University.
Over nearly two decades she has supported people facing adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, family-of-origin problems, and complicated relationships with trust, commitment, or codependency. Jill draws on several practical approaches to therapy. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and motivate change, and attachment-based work to improve connection patterns.
She also integrates elements from dialectical behavior strategies and client-centered listening when helpful. Appointments are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions are delivered in English and she works with international clients as well.
The counseling subscription can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location and scheduling.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related overwhelm, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like low mood or worry. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on patterns of relating and trust, helping people understand relationship dynamics and build healthier communication and connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what is useful and realistic for daily life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers real-time written back-and-forth, and messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep counseling consistent even with busy days or different locations.
