Jill Tan-Gatue 

Jill Tan-Gatue is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 21 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or struggling with low self-esteem and depression. Jill also helps people coping with life changes and those facing compassion fatigue or workplace strain.

She uses Attachment-Based Therapy and psychodynamic approaches to look at how past relationships and patterns affect present choices. In sessions she listens for recurring themes such as codependency, family of origin issues, and communication problems. Conversations often focus on identifying repeated patterns and making practical changes that fit daily life.

Jill addresses issues like emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. She also supports women navigating mood and workplace concerns. Sessions are paced to the person’s needs and emphasize understanding what keeps old patterns going.

Her style is reflective and relational. She will talk about how early attachments show up now, and about feelings that underlie behavior. Over time the work aims to expand options when tough reactions come up.

To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The site uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary by location.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. In practice this means noticing patterns in how people ask for support or pull away, and using talk to try different responses that feel safer and clearer. Psychodynamic Therapy focuses on recurring themes and emotions that show up in daily life; sessions follow the thread of those patterns to better understand why they repeat and what might change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jill will talk with each person about goals, history, and what feels useful, and she will adjust methods collaboratively rather than prescribing one fixed route. That makes it easier to test ideas and try small behavioral shifts between sessions.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping work time or personal errands from interrupting access to care. If you prefer different ways of meeting, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online conversations allow steady momentum while juggling everyday responsibilities.
