01About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She brings 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, and depression. Jeanne uses clear, straightforward methods so clients know what to expect in sessions.
Her approach centers on listening first. She helps people name what feels hard and then works with them to build skills and stability. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are used to change unhelpful thoughts and manage intense emotions.
Background and approach
For trauma and abuse, Jeanne draws on approaches that address painful memories and their impact. She also helps people who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, or who struggle with dissociation, self-harm, or panic attacks. Work often includes skill practice, pacing, and tracking progress over time.
Jeanne pays attention to life context. Family of origin issues, guilt and shame, emptiness, and questions about life purpose are discussed in ways that connect feelings to daily choices. She also supports people coping with seasonal mood changes and women’s issues.
Sessions may mix EMDR-informed strategies with emotion-focused and client-centered methods when appropriate. Jeanne aims to help people build routines, stronger coping skills, and clearer goals. The overall focus is on steady recovery and practical change.
She practices in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. People interested in starting complete an online matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

04Online support
Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Jeanne works with a mix of client-centered methods and skill-based therapies to address day-to-day struggles. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients set their own goals; it’s useful when someone needs space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which helps when intense emotions or impulsive behaviors cause problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jeanne works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She may start with one method and add others over time so the plan matches progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see facial cues and do exercises together, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written practice. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
