I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LPC) with 3 years of experience supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and providing a supportive space where healing, growth, and self-discovery can occur. My goal is to help individuals break unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

I earned my master's degree in mental health counseling from Walden University. My approach focuses on developing practical tools and coping skills to improve well-being. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based practices, tailoring treatment to each client’s needs and experiences.

I strive to create a comfortable and nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself, gain insight, and develop compassion for your journey.

I'm a counselor who helps people make sense of what they're currently going through, process past experiences, and develop tools to move forward. My background includes working in crisis services and outpatient counseling settings, where I supported individuals facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. I especially enjoy working with people who feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. Together, we'll work toward greater self-understanding, healthier coping strategies, and a stronger sense of confidence in navigating life. 

I believe therapy works best when you feel supported while also being encouraged to reflect, grow, and challenge unhelpful patterns. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress, while building practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety. 

I understand that reaching out for support can sometimes feel difficult or uncertain. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. Therapy can offer a space where you feel heard, supported, and able to explore what you're going through. If you feel therapy may be helpful, I welcome the opportunity to support you in taking that next step. 

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.

I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) with 12 years of experience supporting clients across the lifespan. I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, grief, emotional imbalance, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. I also work with individuals navigating communication challenges, family dynamics, attention-related issues, intimacy concerns, and job-related stressors.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from Morgan State University and use a solution-focused, direct, and compassionate approach. I incorporate motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and faith-based interventions, along with skills such as communication and decision-making support.

My goal is to provide a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Together, we will identify what you need to heal, grow, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

I am a licensed certified social worker-clinical (LCSW-C) with over six years of experience in behavioral health services, working with adults struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges. I specialize in working with clients who have complex needs and those within marginalized populations and communities, approaching each person through a humanistic lens. I recognize that each client's needs are unique, and my therapeutic style—grounded in empathy and unconditional positive regard—is not one-size-fits-all.

I am task-centered and solution-focused, drawing on other approaches interchangeably in order to address individuals. I am direct, and will identify and discuss a client's ambivalence or resistance, as needed, in order to help the client continue on their healing process through their individual treatment plan.

Asking for help is the first step, and that step alone shows real strength and the innate drive toward your desire for change and growth. From there, we work together—forming a therapeutic relationship, identifying goals, strengthening coping tools, building connections, and exploring new perspectives—to help you find your personal fulfillment.
