About Jyl

Jyl Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 17 years of clinical experience who works from Idaho. She focuses on helping people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, strengths-based stance that centers clients' goals and practical strategies to address day-to-day struggles and longer-term patterns. Adams draws on a blend of approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based ideas, mindfulness practices, and communication-focused work informed by the Gottman Method.

She has led a independent practice for eleven years and has worked with individuals, couples, children, and families on issues such as trauma, abuse, mood disorders, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and matters related to adoption and foster care.

Her training includes a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and a Master of Social Work from Boise State University, and she holds licensure in Idaho and Nevada. In sessions she aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and then collaborate with clients to set clear goals and learn tools to meet them.

Prospective clients who prefer sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can find options that fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connections; it helps when relationship history or attachment concerns affect present-day interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation strategies that can reduce reactivity and support emotional balance.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful for the person's situation and preferences. That collaborative stance helps tailor online work to individual needs rather than applying a single fixed protocol.

Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support, teach practical skills, and review progress while accommodating clients who need remote or time-flexible options.
