Jillanne Hecker

Jillanne Hecker is a licensed professional counselor and mental health counselor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship concerns. She practices in Florida and draws on six years of clinical experience to guide people through emotional challenges.

She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what’s happening and what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps - building self-esteem, improving communication, and finding ways to cope with life changes. Jillanne pays attention to each person’s background and values as part of the work.

Her daily approach blends structured techniques and mindful awareness. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

For trauma and difficult memories she incorporates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing methods alongside mindfulness practices to help reduce the hold of painful events. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are ambivalent about change, such as when facing addictions or major life shifts.

Jillanne also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, aging concerns, body image issues, and the effects of natural or human-caused disaster. She works with those facing co-occurring conditions like bipolar disorder and ADHD, focusing on clear goals and step-by-step plans.

Her style is collaborative and practical. People leave sessions with small, doable actions to try between meetings and a plan to track progress over time.
