Jill Haer, LPC

Jill Haer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience in behavioral health. She practices from Delaware and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Jill focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.

Jill uses straightforward talk therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge negative thinking and build useful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify their values and commit to small changes that matter.

Her approach is warm and person-centered. She listens first, then suggests methods that fit each person’s situation. Sessions can include skill practice, problem solving, and checking how things feel as change happens.

Jill also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide conversations about attachment and closeness when relationship hurts come up. These approaches are mixed to match what a person needs in the moment.

She supports people dealing with grief, eating struggles, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Jill also has experience with first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, and process or sexual addictions. Her work aims to make therapy understandable and useful for everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Jill often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. CBT gives clear steps and homework people can try between sessions to test what helps.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action even when unpleasant thoughts or feelings appear. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and long-term struggles where acceptance and values-based choices help guide behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jill listens to each person’s goals and tries methods that match those needs. She checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the plan so therapy stays collaborative and focused on practical change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, prompts, and skill practice between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
