Jillian DiPaola is a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in complex trauma and dysfunction. She  brings a deeply personal touch to her work as a therapist which is driven by her passion for understanding the complexities of the human experience. With extensive experience working in school systems, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, Jillian has dedicated her career to helping people navigate trauma, dysfunction, and the challenges that impact their lives, careers, and relationships. Her work with teens, families, and adults has given her a unique perspective on the emotional and psychological difficulties that people face across different stages of life.**

Jillian’s approach to therapy is rooted in compassion, insight, and collaboration. She believes in meeting her clients where they are, and her sessions focus on psychoeducation, self-exploration, and helping individuals unlearn and relearn behaviors that no longer serve them. Through her “roots-up” approach, Jillian helps clients better understand themselves and their internal processes, fostering lasting growth. Her clients can expect not only valuable insight but also a warm, nonjudgmental environment where compassion and understanding are both modeled and practiced.

With a B.A. in Psychology and a minor in Dance from Texas Tech University, and an M.A. in Professional Counseling with honors from Texas State University, Jillian has continuously sought to deepen her understanding of trauma and recovery. Certified in the Cloud & Townsend Growth Model and having completed numerous trauma recovery programs, she blends both evidence-based practices and a personal passion for healing into her work.

When she’s not in session, Jillian finds joy in the performing arts as a dancer and singer, teaching and performing in her spare time. Helping others remains her life’s work, and she considers it a true honor to walk with her clients on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. 

Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you’ve spent years carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, identity struggles, relationship stress, or the pressure of trying to “hold it together” for everyone else. My goal is to create a space where you can feel understood without judgment and supported in making meaningful, lasting change.

I am an LICSW/LCSW with over a decade of experience working in mental health across crisis care, community mental health, trauma-informed treatment, and individual therapy. I work with a wide range of clients and have a particular passion for supporting LGBTQIA+ teens and adults, as well as men ages teens to 45 navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, emotional isolation, self-esteem issues, trauma, identity concerns, and relationship difficulties.

My therapeutic style is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I believe therapy should be collaborative, practical, and empowering. Together, we work to identify unhealthy patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, improve emotional awareness, and build a stronger sense of confidence and direction.

Many of the clients I work with come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, misunderstood, or emotionally exhausted. Some struggle with loneliness, burnout, anger, shame, or difficulty expressing vulnerability. Others are exploring identity, sexuality, relationships, or trying to heal from painful experiences that continue to affect their daily lives. Therapy can be a place to slow down, process openly, and begin moving toward a healthier and more authentic version of yourself.

I strive to provide an affirming, respectful, and genuine therapeutic relationship where clients can safely explore difficult topics without fear of criticism or rejection. Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season of life or looking for deeper long-term growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
