About Jill

Jill Jaster is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience who leans on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies. She aims for a collaborative relationship where clients take an active role. Her style is steady and direct, and she focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by life changes or persistent emotional pain.

Jill creates a calm space for people to speak honestly about stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

She also supports those coping with addiction, panic, bipolar challenges, and issues tied to self-worth. Parents or caregivers who are worn out by responsibility can find practical ways to cope and set healthier boundaries. Her approach blends talking therapies with techniques that address thinking patterns and present-moment awareness.

That mix helps people notice unhelpful habits, try different actions, and reduce distress. Sessions are meant to be straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Jill works with themes like abandonment, body image, sexual assault and abuse, narcissistic relationships, and midlife questions.

She also helps people explore life purpose and build self-love over time. The work often moves at a pace chosen by the client. Clients meet with Jill by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She practices in Iowa as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and conducts sessions in English. Starting therapy begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling that matches each person’s needs.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Jungian Therapy invites people to look at deeper patterns in their life stories and dreams. It can help when someone keeps repeating the same choices, faces big questions about identity, or wants to understand inner conflicts in new ways.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and partnership. The therapist follows the person's lead, offering empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and build self-trust.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, examines thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It offers simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and interrupt unhelpful cycles.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions together in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief support, progress notes, or when writing helps express thoughts. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or distant schedules while keeping consistent care.
