About Jill
Jill Tan-Gatue is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She supports those facing life transitions and the drain of compassion fatigue. Her approach aims to make therapy a straightforward place to talk and regroup.
Jill adapts sessions to each person. She listens for what matters most and shapes conversation and goals around that. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every meeting.
She draws on attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This can help people who struggle with codependency, communication problems, or family of origin issues. Jill also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat across situations and relationships.
Many clients come to address emptiness, guilt and shame, or questions about life purpose and midlife change. She also supports people facing workplace issues and mood concerns. Sessions focus on practical, honest conversation and building small changes that fit daily life.
Jill has 21 years of professional experience in California as an LMFT. She encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy to take the first step. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a time that works for you.
How Jill's approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how earlier and current relationships affect how a person feels and connects. Online sessions can explore patterns of trust, closeness, and distance and help people try new ways of relating to others. Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding repeated patterns in feelings and behavior that come from past experiences. Through regular conversation, it can reveal hidden dynamics that contribute to anxiety, depression, or emptiness.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. Jill will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and adjust the work as those needs change. The plan often blends methods so practical steps and deeper reflection happen together.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, avoid transit time, and check in during stressful periods at work. It also allows for focused conversations when scheduling is tight or when a shorter check-in is needed rather than a longer office visit. Ask about current session arrangements when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can match your routine.
