About Jill

Jill Sheetz is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with twenty years of experience in the mental health field.

Background and approach

She has worked with people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, substance use disorders, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and other life changes. Her background includes helping clients navigate family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, and codependency.

Sheetz describes her approach as strength-based and client-centered, focusing on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can explore what matters to them. She emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in examining patterns, clarifying values, and developing practical coping strategies.

With a calm, supportive style she aims to guide clients through change while honoring their pace and resilience.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Flexibility

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring sessions to each person's needs; it helps people feel heard and supported as they explore personal goals and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday coping challenges. Mindfulness therapy integrates present-moment awareness and acceptance practices to reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation, often helping with stress, trauma responses, and persistent worry.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their situation, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adapt techniques over time to meet evolving needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family obligations, or mobility constraints while still engaging in focused clinical work with a licensed professional.
