About Jillayne
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience, Jillayne DiFrancesca helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. She works with additional issues such as aging and geriatric matters, blended family dynamics, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life needs, and sexual assault and abuse.
Jillayne uses a client-centered approach and draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy depending on what each person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are intended to surface useful insights and actions rather than long theoretical discussions.
She earned a master’s degree in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Counseling from Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. Over 16 years she has provided counseling in a range of settings. That background informs how she balances short-term problem solving with deeper trauma work when required.
In sessions she listens for what is most pressing and helps identify strategies that fit daily life. Techniques can include examining unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping skills, and setting small achievable goals. The emphasis is on what works next, not on repeating the past.
To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and services are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work for remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test and change patterns that get in the way. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small goals to create measurable change quickly.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust as needed. That process helps match techniques to the issue, whether it is anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or trauma-focused work.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make short check-ins easier to arrange. Online work can still include skill practice, thought records, goal setting, and trauma processing adapted for a virtual setting. A first appointment will establish how best to structure sessions to fit daily life and therapeutic goals.
