About Jeanne

Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings 15 years of counseling experience to her work. She focuses on practical tools that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Parents reading on a phone will find clear, direct explanations and short-term strategies they can try between sessions.

Jeanne blends several approaches to match each person's needs rather than relying on a single method. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation skills, and Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be part of trauma-focused work when appropriate.

Her experience includes supporting people through trauma, post-traumatic stress, panic disorder and panic attacks, substance misuse, and family of origin issues. She also addresses concerns such as guilt, shame, emptiness, and life purpose. Sessions emphasize concrete coping skills alongside deeper personal work.

Jeanne earned degrees in Applied Behavioral Science and Developmental Psychology from National Louis University and holds the LCPC credential in Illinois. She describes her approach as wellness-oriented, aiming to help people grow emotionally, mentally, socially, physically, and spiritually.

She works in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats offered. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics; this helps people feel heard and respected while they work through anxiety and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, panic, and low mood because it provides clear exercises and steps to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive behavior. It often includes breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance techniques that people can use during moments of panic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available online options before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-life routines and bring up immediate challenges from everyday life for discussion.
