About Jillian
Licensed clinical social worker Jillian Mittiga is an LCSW-R practicing in New York with 17 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate parenting and career challenges, and cope with depression and life changes. Sessions are presented in straightforward language and focus on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Jillian draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address everyday problems. She describes her work as getting to know each person’s story and strengths, then using that understanding to set realistic goals. Conversation in sessions is direct and aimed at producing changes that fit a person’s routine.
She has a specific interest in perinatal mental health and works with people who are trying to conceive, who are expecting, or who are new parents. That focus guides how she approaches stress and behavior-management concerns around pregnancy and early parenthood.
Outside of clinical work she spends time with family and friends, watches television, and relaxes with her cats. Those personal interests inform a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. The emphasis is on clear next steps, checking progress, and adjusting plans as needed.
People considering therapy with Jillian are encouraged to think about which problems feel most urgent. The first meetings look at what’s working now, identify one or two immediate goals, and pick practical techniques to try between sessions. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are updated to reflect real life.

Approaches used and how online sessions work
Jillian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Another frequent element is problem-solving and skills coaching, which focuses on concrete steps for managing stress, parenting tasks, or career decisions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust based on what the client reports and what fits their goals. This is a collaborative process that centers on practical results rather than abstract theory.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as format details are not specified here. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity when schedules change. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or phone conversations when a full video session is difficult. Ask about specific session options when you schedule so they can be matched to your needs and daily routine.
