Jill Egizio

My name is Jill Egizio and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Peoria, Illinois.

My approach

I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy. I use practical approaches to resolve distress and interpersonal conflicts. I choose therapeutic techniques and skills to help you identify action steps and meaningful behavioral change. I want to make sure you are getting your desired benefits from therapy.

My focus

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, adjustment to life stressors, and relationship conflicts. I also am experienced in the treatment of eating disorders.

My communication style

I lead my sessions with empathy, curiosity, and deep listening to truly understand the stories that have shaped your life. I welcome you to tell your story. I will listen and ask questions to more deeply understand how you are feeling and the problems you are struggling with. I am careful to avoid making assumptions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've been a mental health professional for more than half of my life. Witnessing my clients grow and be able to transcend previous levels of self-awareness, self-compassion, and discover healthy habits bring me joy and keeps me connected to doing therapy.

My goals for you

I will assist you in breaking down each goal into steps that feel achievable for you. Following through on action steps can help to build motivation and confidence. We will regularly talk about how you are feeling about your goals.

My first session with you

The idea of having your first therapy session can feel intimidating. We will take time to become acquainted and comfortable. I will guide our session with questions but also invite you to share the stories that are central to your life and your current experience.
