Jillian SharpLICSW, LIMHP

Jillian Sharp is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) based in Nebraska. She focuses on helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life transitions. People also come to her for relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach is grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship. She uses practical, person-focused conversations to help people make sense of hard moments. Sessions tend to be supportive and strengths-based, with attention to perspective shifts and self-compassion.

Jillian blends several therapeutic methods to match what a person needs. She draws on client-centered therapy to center the person’s experience, cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and emotionally-focused techniques to look at how feelings shape relationships. Mindfulness and existential ideas also inform her work when they fit a client's goals.

She has three years of clinical experience and holds both the LICSW and LIMHP credentials. Those designations indicate clinical social work and mental health licensure in the region. Jillian welcomes conversations about concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, forgiveness, and impulsivity.

If someone wants practical steps and an empathic conversation about pregnancy and childbirth-related worries or other life changes, Jillian aims to help people find clearer next steps and more manageable daily rhythms.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first, focusing on listening, reflection, and support. This helps when a person needs a space to be heard and to make sense of change, including concerns around pregnancy and childbirth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping strategies that can be practiced between sessions. Emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) examines how feelings influence relationships and communication, which can help with connection and conflict patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations, which can help someone continue care during transitions or while traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so progress continues between meetings.
