Jill Skelton is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who brings 15 years of experience as both a clinician and a clinical supervisor. She earned her master’s degree from Columbia University School of Social Work in 2006 and has spent a substantial portion of her career working in the psychiatric field, developing expertise with a wide range of diagnoses.
She views therapy as a collaborative process in which the therapist and client work together toward practical change. Jill believes that people already possess many of the skills and inner strengths they need, and her role is to guide and support clients as they build on those resources.
In sessions she aims to create a warm, safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, respectful, and caring space for exploring feelings and experiences. Clients report feeling listened to, comfortable sharing, and sensing authenticity in her interactions.
Jill appreciates the courage it takes to begin therapy and looks forward to supporting individuals who choose to start that process with her.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that fits their needs and comfort level - video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy life.
Another advantage is accessibility. Working with licensed professionals online expands options for finding the right therapeutic fit, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they prefer a different match.
Overall, online therapy offers a practical and effective way to address many everyday mental health concerns while providing adaptable ways to meet with a qualified therapist.
