About Jill
Jill Clark is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and individuals. She uses straightforward conversation and real strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship strain. Jill holds an MA LICSW and a Utah LCSW and brings 18 years of experience to her work.
She begins by listening closely to where a person is right now. That means naming what feels hard, looking at patterns that keep coming up, and choosing small, usable steps to try between sessions.
Background and approach
Parents often find help with setting boundaries, handling sleep or eating struggles, and coping with big life changes. Jill blends several approaches to match the situation. She leans on client-centered work to build trust, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and draws on emotionally focused ideas to improve important relationships.
Mindfulness and solution-focused tools help keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Across many settings - shelters, clinics, schools, hospitals, and independent practice - she has supported people through trauma, addiction, adoption and foster care issues, and grief. That variety shaped a flexible, common-sense style that pays attention to safety, pacing, and what will actually fit into a busy life.
In sessions Jill aims to be genuine and approachable. She partners with parents and individuals to set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track small changes over time. The focus is on useful tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jill commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, building rapport, and following the client's lead to identify priorities and next steps. Cognitive behavioral techniques involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral experiments to shift mood and routines.She also draws on emotionally focused ideas when relationship challenges or attachment wounds are central. Those approaches focus on noticing emotional responses and practicing new ways of responding in close relationships. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth or camera use is a hurdle. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options provide flexibility for busy parents and people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, while keeping therapy practical and focused.
