Gillian works from the view that clients know their own stories and bring strengths to each session. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations aim to be practical and direct so people leave with steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes seven years of professional practice in Kansas as a LSCSW and a LCSW. Those credentials are used in her regional practice and inform how she organizes care. She frames therapy as collaborative, combining evidence-informed approaches with problem-solving strategies.
In a typical session Gillian will help a person clarify a few immediate goals and experiment with small changes. She uses ACT to focus on values and committed action, CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and solution-focused techniques to build on what already works. For trauma-related concerns she uses trauma-focused methods to process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories.

How ACT, CBT and Solution-Focused Methods Work in Remote Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify values and take small actions that match those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and moving toward meaningful choices despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that cause distress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete steps and strengths to produce measurable change in a few sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which method or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, such as allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or eliminating travel time. They can also reduce barriers like needing less equipment or being able to choose a quieter setting. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote appointments and help clients keep momentum between meetings.
