Jill Bashorun, LPC

Jill Bashorun is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 29 years of experience helping people through major life challenges. She works with individuals feeling overwhelmed by chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. Jill aims to create a calm space where people can feel heard without judgment and begin to sort things out.

Her style is practical and compassionate. She focuses on spotting patterns that keep people stuck and on teaching coping skills that can be used day to day. Sessions emphasize small, doable steps that build toward greater confidence and stability.

Jill often supports people facing caregiving strain, chronic pain or illness, grief and end-of-life concerns, and the special stress that first responders and healthcare workers can carry. She also addresses intimacy questions, commitment and communication problems, and complex family-of-origin issues.

People who come to her describe arriving worn out from carrying too much. Jill helps them slow down, name what matters, and make choices that fit their lives. Her approach blends empathy with concrete tools so clients can practice new ways of coping between sessions.

If someone is considering therapy, Jill asks them to pick the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session. She guides each person at a pace that suits their needs and goals.

Approaches that help people manage ongoing challenges

Jill uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One approach she often uses involves breaking down overwhelming problems into manageable steps and building coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. This helps with anxiety, chronic stress, and adjustment to illness.

Another common focus is trauma-informed care, which means paying attention to how past hurt affects current safety, trust, and relationships. Work in this area helps people notice patterns, reduce reactivity, and strengthen personal boundaries and connections.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jill works with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust as therapy progresses. She frames treatment as teamwork and encourages clients to speak up about what helps and what doesn’t.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and let someone check in from work during a lunch break or from home when they have quieter moments. It can also allow shorter check-ins on harder days and easier access when mobility or chronic illness makes travel difficult. Ask about available session formats when you schedule to see what will work best for your routine.
