About Jyl

Jyl Adams is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. She works with individuals to address relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, anger, ADHD, and the strain of caregiving. Jyl writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She trained at the University of Nevada, Reno (Bachelor of Social Work) and Boise State University (Master of Social Work), and she holds LCSW credentials in Idaho and Nevada.

Background and approach

Over 17 years she ran a independent practice for eleven years, offering in-person care for a range of concerns including trauma, loss, and life changes. Jyl uses an attachment-based lens to understand how early bonds shape current relationships. She also draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are added to teach concrete skills for managing mood and anxiety. Her style is strengths-based and team-oriented. In the first sessions she aims to build trust so clients feel comfortable sharing what’s hard.

From there she helps set clear goals and shows practical tools that can be used between visits. Parents and people who have experience with adoption or foster care may find her background helpful when sorting through family dynamics and parenting stress. She also supports people exploring life purpose, improving communication, and developing more self-love.

Online support

Attachment-informed and practical therapy online

Jyl integrates attachment-based ideas with client-centered work to help people understand how past relationships shape present patterns. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds influence trust, closeness, and reactions in relationships, which can help with parenting stress, communication problems, and relationship worries.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to teach specific skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking. CBT adds clear strategies and exercises people can practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques suited to their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a team process with regular check-ins to adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when needed, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and messaging helps keep momentum between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
