Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen , LMHC

Jerrilynn Pratt-Mullen brings an intuitive, empathetic presence to her work and often encourages people to reconnect with their own inner knowing - what she describes as intuition that recognizes what will serve their highest good. She helps clients reframe the narratives they carry about their past, noting that those stories often arise from stress responses, emotional trauma, fear, and early conditioning. By exploring how those patterns contribute to psychological, emotional, and physical pain, she supports people in moving from stuck reactions toward clearer, more purposeful living.

She frames life as a mirror that reflects hurt, disappointment, anger, betrayal, rejection, abandonment, unmet needs, unrealistic expectations, guilt, shame, and disillusionment - all material to be examined rather than endured. On the other side of depression, anger, anxiety, panic, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality symptoms, and addiction she emphasizes growth areas such as self-understanding, self-acceptance, self-compassion, self-forgiveness, resilience, serenity, and joy. A personal story from her training years illustrates this commitment: after sharing fears of being beyond help, a supervisor reassured her that transformative growth is possible, a belief that continues to inform her practice.

Pratt-Mullen is deeply committed to helping others discover meaning and purpose while ending cycles of pain, addiction, violence, abuse, discrimination, abandonment, neglect, and trauma - experiences she has faced personally. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, she seeks underlying sources of suffering to promote clarity, honesty, growth, compassion, accountability, self-care, and empowerment. She combines a caring, engaging, and compassionate stance with a strong foundation in evidence-based and experiential modalities, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative and Client-Centered therapies, Attachment work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and inner child approaches. She also encourages clients to address life domains such as career, relationships, finances, health, and spirituality, and to practice boundaries, reflective listening, and conscious communication as part of lasting change. Pratt-Mullen holds the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It blends mindfulness and committed behavior change, making it useful for anxiety, depression, avoidance, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional needs and interpersonal patterns. By exploring attachment dynamics, this approach can help with relationship struggles, intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and healing from relational trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT examines unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and provides practical tools to reframe thoughts and build healthier habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, assess what resonates, and tailor techniques to match needs, preferences, and life circumstances. This partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are available through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations, while still working with licensed professionals who guide the therapeutic process.
