    About Jeanne

    Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on helping people move forward from addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression. She brings a practical, person-centered style to sessions and works with individuals on self-esteem, stress, and related concerns. Jeanne’s manner is grounded and straightforward, aimed at helping clients make steady progress.

    She trained in developmental psychology and applied behavioral science. Over 15 years she has worked in clinical settings with people facing trauma and substance use concerns. She approaches problems by looking at emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual needs together rather than in isolation.

    In sessions she uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build practical skills and clearer thinking. Jeanne adapts her approach depending on what a person says is most helpful.

    People commonly bring concerns such as panic, post-traumatic stress, dissociation, domestic violence aftermath, shame, and struggles with life purpose. She also supports those coping with seasonal mood changes, self-harm history, and sexual assault and abuse. Jeanne places emphasis on steady recovery and ongoing personal growth.

    Her practice is based in Illinois and she conducts work in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her focus areas fit their needs before starting. The first step is a brief matching process to connect with her approach and schedule a session.

  2. How therapy methods translate to online work

    Jeanne often uses Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what matters to them and build motivation to change. It focuses on listening, reflective questions, and small steps toward goals.

    She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental relationship and follows the person’s pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears in her work to teach practical tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jeanne will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning allows adjustments over time based on what helps most.

    The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also make it simple to practice CBT skills between visits or continue momentum when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
