About Jeanne
Jeanne Tilseth is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She brings 15 years of counseling experience and a focus on trauma, addictions, anxiety, and depression. Jeanne aims to create an approachable space where people can talk about difficult feelings and take practical steps toward feeling better.
Jeanne uses emotionally focused ways of working to help people notice and name strong emotions. She also draws on client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions often combine emotion work with skill-building so people can manage panic, reduce anxiety, or cope with triggers from past trauma. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science and a Master’s degree in Developmental Psychology from National Louis University. Jeanne has long experience helping adults navigate addiction, recovery, and the effects of abuse.
She describes her approach as addressing emotional, mental, social, physical, and spiritual aspects of wellness. In therapy she listens for what matters most to each person and then tests practical steps they can try between sessions. This may include grounding practices, thought-focused exercises, or pacing exposure to difficult memories.
The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes. Jeanne works with a wide range of challenges including self-harm history, dissociation, family of origin struggles, and life-purpose questions. She also supports people coping with seasonal mood shifts, guilt and shame, and recovery from sexual assault or domestic violence.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support
Emotion-focused care and practical skills online
Jeanne uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people identify and name strong emotions that get in the way of connection and healing. EFT focuses on the felt experience in the moment and can be helpful for processing trauma-related feelings and improving emotional regulation.She also relies on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own goals and experiences, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk things through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key part of her work and targets thought patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist and client decide together which approaches to try based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may shift over time as progress is made or new issues arise.
Online therapy with Jeanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can provide brief check-ins or step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
