About Jeanne

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 15 years of experience, Jeanne Tilseth focuses on trauma, addictions, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, and depression. She uses several therapeutic approaches and frames work around practical steps clients can take. Jeanne speaks English and practices in Illinois.

Jeanne draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and coping. EMDR is part of her toolkit for addressing trauma when appropriate.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science and a Master’s in Developmental Psychology from National Louis University. Jeanne has long experience treating adults and adolescents for trauma and addiction-related concerns. The credential LCPC appears after her name and indicates her Illinois licensure.

In sessions she works on concrete problems like panic attacks, substance use concerns, and patterns linked to family of origin. She also addresses issues such as dissociation, domestic violence history, self-harm, sexual assault, and feelings of emptiness or guilt. Practical skills and symptom-focused strategies are commonly used.

Jeanne incorporates attention to emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions when clients want that included. She offers straightforward, skills-oriented work alongside talk therapy. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jeanne’s approaches translate to remote work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities and shapes sessions around what they want to address. This approach helps when someone needs a space to set the agenda and work through immediate concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between meetings for issues like anxiety, panic, or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that are useful when emotions feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist and client will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to emphasize. That collaborative adjustment continues as progress is made and needs change.

The listing does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work or family routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid travel time. Remote work can also make it simpler to practice CBT or DBT skills between sessions since assignments can be reviewed immediately. Licensed professionals adapt methods to the practical realities of the client’s day-to-day life.
