About Jill
Jill Sexton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing adoption-related concerns, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She aims to make conversations feel understandable and warm so parents and caregivers can focus on practical next steps. Her approach is calm and grounded, and she works to meet people where they are.
Jill uses a mix of methods that emphasize values, relationships, and skills. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. She also uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Auburn University and a master’s degree in community counseling from Auburn University Montgomery. Jill brings 18 years of counseling experience in Alabama and has spent much of that time addressing trauma, loss, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.
In sessions she listens closely, helps identify triggers, and co-creates concrete steps to change difficult patterns. She blends cognitive-behavioral tools and emotion skills training to teach coping strategies for anxiety, mood swings, and relationship conflicts.
Jill works with people across a range of life stages and concerns including parenting stress, attachment issues, ADHD, mood disorders, and career or life-purpose questions. She aims to help clients rewrite the next chapter of their story by building practical skills and clearer goals.
How Jill’s approaches translate to online work
Jill uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to steps that build a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That approach helps people improve communication, reduce reactivity, and build more secure ways of relating to others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will discuss your goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift over time.
