Jill Pederson, LCSW

Jill Pederson, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
My name is Jill Pederson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Riverside. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults, specializing in anxiety, stress, depression, and behavioral issues such as defiance and difficulty managing anger. I use a variety of clinical approaches tailored to each client’s needs, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy often proving very effective in helping clients achieve their goals. My approach to therapy is eclectic and varies based on each client’s needs. While I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, I also incorporate humanistic and solution-focused methods. I conceptualize challenges from a systems perspective to gain a deeper understanding of my clients’ experiences. I find my style well-suited for teens and young adults navigating identity formation, life transitions, social pressures, past traumas, or difficult relationship dynamics. These challenges often manifest as anxiety, depression, stress, behavioral problems, and ineffective coping skills. I work collaboratively with clients to build healthy coping and communication skills, strengthen relationships, and develop confidence and hope to manage life’s challenges effectively. My communication style is calm, warm, and engaging. I am open-minded and committed to conveying acceptance, ensuring clients feel truly heard. My goal is to create a safe environment where clients can be their authentic selves without fear of judgment. Throughout my career as an LCSW, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals in various roles and settings, enriching my understanding and ability to support clients effectively.
