Jeanne Tilseth, LCPC

Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. Jeanne uses clear, practical methods in sessions and aims to help clients feel steadier in daily life.

Jeanne brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work and draws on several therapy approaches to match each person’s needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also incorporates client-centered techniques to create an accepting space and may use skills from dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation.

Her practice addresses related concerns such as dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, feelings of emptiness, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and recovery from sexual assault. She also supports work on life purpose, forgiveness, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, and self-harm prevention.

Sessions are offered in English and conducted under Illinois licensure as an LCPC. Jeanne frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time. She aims to help people build coping skills, manage difficult emotions, and make achievable changes that fit their lives.

Her background blends practical skill building with attention to a person’s emotional experience. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, hands-on strategies, and steady support while working toward clearer thinking and healthier habits.

Approaches for online healing and skills work

Jeanne often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people recognize thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression and try new behaviors that reduce distress. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for panic, low mood, and many everyday stressors.

She also relies on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s perspective. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions when facing life challenges. Jeanne may draw on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust techniques based on what helps most. Clients play an active role in deciding which strategies to keep and which to change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful when visual cues matter, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and messaging lets people check in between live appointments. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions, practice skills in daily life, and stay connected during progress.
