About me

My name is Jill Wheeler. I am a Licensed Certified Mental Health Counselor with twelve years of experience. I am certified by the state of North Carolina as an LCMHC. (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor). I work for the Department of Defense as a military counselor during the day and pledge my evening here on this platform. Previously, I worked as an Acute therapist in a psychiatric hospital unit. This experience broadened my counseling skills. Working in several school systems with children of all ages allowed me to experience counseling the younger mindset.
Currently, I work with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, school problems, and spiritual matters. My counseling style is non-judgmental, inviting, respectful, thought-provoking, and sensitive. My counseling approach combines solution-focused and motivational interviewing.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

I’ve only had a couple sessions with Jill so far, but her energy is incredibly positive. She’s been a light in a dark time. A comfort and a safe haven in a time of personal battles. Her faith and sense of humor are also a great breath of fresh air. She listens, and gives great advice. Actionable advice is something I think we all seek, and she not only gives me actions I can do in my daily life, but also acronyms and metaphors to help me remember those actions I can take. I look forward to each session with Jill. I thank her for her love and patience with me.

I was really nervous about being matched with the right therapist. With Jill I really feel like I hit the jackpot because she really gets it. After every session I gain a new perspective about the things I’m going through because she has a way of hearing what I’m not saying. I’m very grateful because I finally feel I’ve found a safe place for help.

Jill has been amazing these last few months. I had tried several different therapists none seemed to really get it. There was no relatability. Jill was able to make me feel comfortable which helped me to open up more. She never makes me feel as though she is telling me what to do, and her suggestions are are valuable and encourage critical thinking. I can definitely say, my outlook on life has improved greatly since I started working with Jill.

I've been in therapy for over 4 months now and I've switched counselor a couple times. I decided to stay with Jill because her listening style best matches my needs. She is non-judgmental in her approach and orients the conversation back to you, your strengths and your needs (especially when you tend to ruminate about others and external situations outside of your control). She made me see my life circumstances in a new light and empowered me along the way.
