About Jill
Jill Tan-Gatue is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on compassion fatigue and relationship patterns such as attachment issues and codependency.
Jill uses a conversational, thoughtful style in sessions. She listens for patterns that repeat in relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life. Conversations often include looking at family of origin concerns, communication patterns, and feelings like guilt, shame, or emptiness.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to explore early relational experiences and how they shape current choices. She also uses psychodynamic approaches to uncover recurring themes and unconscious patterns that influence mood and behavior. Sessions may include talking through recent events, reflecting on past influences, and trying small changes between meetings.
People come to her wanting clearer boundaries, better emotional regulation, or relief from persistent worry and low mood. She supports parents and professionals experiencing workplace strain and women's issues by addressing both practical coping strategies and deeper personal patterns. Her approach blends attention to feelings with concrete steps to manage day-to-day demands.
To start, the site asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jill uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current needs and reactions. This approach helps people who struggle with closeness, trust, or repeating relationship patterns by tracing how familiar ways of relating started and how they play out now.She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to uncover recurring themes and patterns that influence mood and decisions. That work often means reflecting on past experiences and how they show up in present behavior, which can clarify why certain stresses feel so familiar.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels useful and adjust the focus as issues change over time.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time that can eat into a lunch break. Therapists licensed in your state can discuss what will work best given your schedule and goals.
