Hi, I'm Jillian Block, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. I work with teens (16+) and adults navigating bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or disconnected from the life they want. Together, we focus on building insight, developing healthy coping skills, strengthening resilience, and creating meaningful, lasting change that aligns with your goals and values.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help you better understand yourself, manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and build practical skills that support lasting growth.
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don't have to do it alone. You deserve a space where you feel heard, accepted, and supported. If you're ready to invest in yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to be part of your journey.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is typically using a psychodynamic lens. Although it doesn't always explain everything, what goes on in childhood and within the important relationships in early life is often a big part of how we interact with each other and within the world. It is very gratifying to see clients be able to connect the dots and break cycles. On a simpler level, I find that validation and normalizing what someone's feelings connected to an experience are, are super helpful.
Some tools I teach in individual therapy include:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they tell me they feel like themselves again. If any goal of any caliber is getting worked towards or accomplished, that is meaningful progress to me.
Focus on self-care! Monitoring sleeping and eating patterns/habits, getting physical exercise, and engaging in mindfulness practices (deep breathing exercises, meditation, etc.) outside of sessions.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, it's helpful to get an idea of what you want things to look like, and what you want to be different after being in therapy.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
