Jill Winter, LICSW

Jill Winter is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience practicing in Minnesota. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the challenges that come with divorce and parenting. Jill aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful of each person’s pace.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking, not on labels. Jill listens for how feelings, relationships, and daily routines interact, and she works with clients to find workable changes that fit their life.

Her background includes long-term work with varied ages and life situations, which informs a flexible way of approaching problems. Jill draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, caregiver stress, body image concerns, and issues related to narcissistic behavior in others. She supports people navigating life transitions and the emotional fallout from separation.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and small goals that build momentum. Jill encourages parents and caregivers to find strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Her approach balances listening with practical guidance so people leave each session with something usable.

People who want straightforward, compassionate help with stress, anxiety, or parenting strain will find a clear, steady style. Jill helps clients identify what matters most and plan the next steps toward feeling more capable and in control.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Many clients benefit from approaches that focus on practical skills and clear goals. Cognitive-based techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time. Trauma-informed methods focus on safety and pacing, helping people process difficult memories gradually and restore a sense of control.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Jill will work with clients to choose techniques that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts the pace and tools based on how a person responds, so treatment grows from each session’s progress.

If you want remote options, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, remove travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. It can also make sessions possible when childcare or caregiving duties make leaving home difficult. Ask about available formats when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your routine.
