Jill Sexton

Jill Sexton is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and a range of other challenges including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career or self-esteem difficulties.

She has specific expertise with adoption-related issues and is certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), trained in EMDR, and recognized as an adoption-competent professional. Her practice serves children, adolescents, adults, and families, offering support across the lifespan.

Jill earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Auburn University and a master’s degree in community counseling from Auburn University Montgomery. She holds a professional counseling license in Alabama (AL LPC LPC03233).

Inspired by Dr. Brené Brown’s observation that “When we deny the story, it defines us. When we own the story, we can write a brave new ending,” Jill works with clients to explore their histories, identify patterns and triggers that limit growth, and map practical steps toward desired outcomes. Her style is relatable, empathic, and calming, and she takes a holistic approach to tailor each counseling experience to the individual needs and goals of the person or family she is supporting.
