About Jillayne
Jillayne DiFrancesca is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 16 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, family and parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes.
She trained for a master's degree in counseling with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling at Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi. Jillayne has provided counseling in multiple settings over more than a decade and a half. That range means she is familiar with common roadblocks people bring to sessions and practical ways to address them.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Jillayne describes herself as client-centered and combines that perspective with methods that match each client's needs. In practice this means she listens first, then works with the person to choose steps that feel workable and realistic.
In session she often uses techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused work to identify unhelpful thinking and build manageable strategies. For people who have experienced trauma, she draws on trauma-focused approaches to address the impact of past harm while respecting pacing and readiness.
People who come for help with anger frequently focus on triggers, patterns, and clearer communication. Jillayne helps people talk through what is happening, try small behavioral changes, and track what helps over time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Jillayne draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage anger and related concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person's perspective, which helps build clear goals and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them.She also uses solution-focused techniques that emphasize small, trackable steps and quick experiments to see what helps. These approaches are useful for stress, relationship conflict, anger, and mood concerns because they aim for concrete changes people can practice between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jillayne will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as needed. That conversation about fit is part of the early sessions and continues throughout care.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening, shorten check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to travel. Talk with Jillayne during the matching steps to confirm which formats she currently offers and what will work best for your schedule and goals.
