About Jill

Jill Tan-Gatue is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel easier for someone who is worried or uncertain about reaching out. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

That work often centers on connection, trust, and how people cope when relationships feel unsafe or unsatisfying.

Background and approach

Jill also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring feelings and patterns that show up in daily life. Together these approaches help identify where old hurts or automatic responses are keeping someone stuck, and create small steps toward change. In sessions she tailors conversation and the plan to each person.

Conversations are practical and grounded - talking through current problems, practicing different ways to respond, and reflecting on how earlier experiences influence today. She treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her California license and 21 years of experience inform a calm, steady style.

She encourages clients to move at a pace that feels manageable and will adjust methods to fit goals and needs.

Online support

Attachment-informed and Psychodynamic Care Online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape how people relate today, helping identify patterns in trust, closeness, and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for people who feel stuck in repetitive relationship habits or struggle to feel supported with others.

Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on recurring feelings, core conflicts, and how past experiences influence current mood and behavior. It helps people notice automatic reactions and make different choices in daily life, especially around self-esteem, guilt, and life purpose.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick which ideas and methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be faster or require less bandwidth, and chat or text fits short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
