Taking the first step on your healing journey can be difficult. Whether you're seeking therapy to process trauma, navigate difficult relationships, or to overcome life’s daily challenges, I'm happy you're here exploring your options and taking that first step. Throughout my career, I've worked with clients experiencing a wide range of these challenges including sexual and physical abuse, family conflict, relationship struggles, intimacy challenges, identity work, anxiety and depression. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT) and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). While I have several years of training in these modalities, I hold a strong belief that treatment should be individualized for each client. I believe you have the capacity to find healing, but you shouldn't have to navigate it alone. My goal is to partner with you on your journey no matter the challenge you are facing. Finding a therapist can feel exhausting so when you're ready, I hope you will reach out with any questions to see if I'm the therapist for you.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Are you struggling with your self-confidence? Would you like to work on more effective communication? I am here to help! My approach to therapy involves creating a safe, warm, comfortable environment. In my practice I treat anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief, and relationship issues. My role as a therapist is to help you learn the tools for a less stressed, happier, more confident you.

Hi, I'm Jillian Varamo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience dedicated to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. I received my Master's in Social Work from New York University in 2013. I specialize in the management of anxiety, depression, women's issues, life transitions, and self betterment. Based in Delaware and Pennsylvania, I use a cognitive behavioral therapy approach to empower my clients to make meaningful changes in their lives, but I'm not here to throw around therapeutic buzzwords. My priority is to maintain a genuine and authentic connection with you. My role is to create supportive environment where you can openly express yourself and begin to shift your perspective. I believe that how we think has a profound impact on how we feel and behave. Together, we can explore these connections and work toward achieving the positive changes you desire for your mental well-being. I understand that starting the process can feel intimidating, especially when you may be at your most vulnerable. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking to enhance your overall well-being, I am here to guide you through the challenges and celebrate your progress. Let's work together to uncover the tools you need to improve your mental wellness and live a fulfilling life.

Are you ready to regain control of your life? Lucky for you, you’re in the right place. It is my goal to push you to your fullest potential, empowering you to be the best version of yourself. Change can be difficult, but also rewarding. During our time together, it is my promise to work just as hard as you - while meeting you where you’re at. I offer a “down to earth” clinical style that provides a safe, supportive and genuine space for you to be your truest self, without the fear of judgment. Whatever the concern, know that I am on your side. As an LPC in the state of PA I have had the opportunity to work with children and adults among a variety of settings over the last 7-8 years, strengthening my skill set to meet your needs. Our first session will be structured toward getting to know one another, while identifying goals and objectives you believe are important for you to target while in therapy. This will later translate into a more specific and individualized treatment plan that will set the tone for future sessions. Though I practice primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral modality, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to support the experience of intense emotions among many mood disorders and intrapersonal conflicts. I challenge you to explore strength-based strategies to support independent growth and improved self-esteem. Additional areas incorporated into treatment include: communication skills, mindfulness intervention and strengthened self-awareness. I believe therapy is a space one needs to feel comfortable in, therefore it is my mission to provide that to you. I am here to have real, stress-free conversations, acting as a soundboard and listening to you and your needs. I am here to provide education, support and guidance in an empathic, confidential manner.

Has fighting with anxiety, planning your day around triggers, or feeling distracted and stressed become a part of your everyday life? It can be difficult to keep moving forward, especially when you have frequent symptoms of Anxiety, ADHD, od depression. I tailor treatments to your needs and offer EMDR, DBT, and Trauma Focused CBT. I’m here to accept you as you are, while also being real with you. I will help you uncover all of the messages you have absorbed from other people to find those lightbulb moments. We will laugh, cry, and learn together while guiding you towards healing. What if you could not only manage your anxiety, but experience much less of it? Imagine if you could understand yourself better, be more comfortable in your relationships, and create a meaningful life beyond trauma. I know change is hard, but I’m here to walk with you every step of the way. Contact me to set up a free consultation.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. Whether you're feeling stuck, anxious, grieving, questioning your identity, or overwhelmed by life transitions, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself. I work with college students, professionals, and adults—especially those in the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities—who are seeking deeper insight, relief, and a renewed sense of meaning. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I bring a trauma-informed, relational approach to our work, integrating elements of psychodynamic therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I’ll help you explore how past experiences may still be showing up in the present and support you in making empowered, values-based choices for your future. Clients often come to me for support with anxiety, trauma, identity concerns, grief, depression, relationship issues, and career struggles. I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Pennsylvania and any PsyPact participating state. If you're ready to begin—or even just curious about what therapy might look like—I invite you to reach out. Let's see if we're a good fit.

After studying and working as an occupational therapist for several years, I decided to expand my skills and expertise by becoming a psychologist. My varied professional experiences share some commonalities and have allowed me to develop my interest in listening, understanding people, being present and mindful, seeing people from a holistic perspective, and exploring what gives meaning to life. While I don’t know the specific challenges you are facing, I know first-hand some of the pressures that face graduate students, traditional, and non-traditional students.
