About Jyl
LCSW in Idaho and Nevada with 17 years of clinical experience, Jyl Adams helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, communication problems, life purpose, mood disorders, and self-love. Jyl uses a blend of approaches including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and Mindfulness Therapy.
Jyl trained with a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Reno and a Master of Social Work from Boise State University. She practiced privately for eleven years, seeing individuals and couples and working with parents and caregivers on everyday family struggles. Her background includes long-term, community-based clinical work across mood and adjustment problems.
Her style centers on building a clear working relationship. She and the client set concrete goals together. Sessions include practical tools drawn from CBT and solution-focused techniques to address thinking patterns and day-to-day behavior.
Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationships and family patterns. Mindfulness practices are used to help regulate emotion and reduce stress. The Gottman Method informs specific skill-building for couples communication when relationship work is appropriate.
People come to Jyl for straightforward problem solving and coaching as much as psychotherapy. She will outline options, suggest exercises between sessions, and track progress against the goals you identify.

How these approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current connections. Online sessions use that framework to map family and partner dynamics and to practice new interaction patterns that reduce reactivity and improve closeness.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and goals. In remote sessions this means the therapist follows the person’s lead, asks clarifying questions, and helps set achievable objectives for everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. Over video or phone, a therapist can coach thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework designed to change routines and reduce symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods suit their situation, goals, and preferences. That may include combining attachment ideas, CBT tools, and mindfulness practices as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let therapists assign and review at-home exercises and practice communication skills between meetings.
